3. Yelling
Those who suffer from sundowning syndrome might also start yelling late at night. It’s important to remember that this yelling, while often loud, doesn’t necessarily suggest that the patient is aggravated, it may just be their way of communicating with you in their deteriorated state.
The words in their sentences will often make as much sense as a serial killer on LSD but there is actually a way to figure out what they’re trying to tell you. While their actual words may not make sense, you can pay mind to their tone when they’re yelling. Based on their tone, you’ll be able to tell if they’re sad, worried, angry, afraid, or otherwise.
Once you figure out how they’re feeling, it’ll be easier to determine what your next course of action should be. If they appear scared, you can comfort them, while you might want to keep your distance if they appear angry.
