A night in the life of sundowning

A typical night spent with my grandpa:

6:00-7:00 Supper (tried giving his anxiety meds earlier tonight to head off his increasingly anxious behavior this week)
8:00 Went to bed
9:30 Up from bed,  putting on more clothes
1030 Ready to leave (gave another dose of anxiety medicine,  first time trying two doses)
11:00 Angry, decided he will walk home if I won't call him a ride-almost to the point of tears. Also packs a kroger bag of necessities and adds another shirt on.
11:30 Convince him to stay and have a cookie
12:00 Head feels woozy so he lays back down
1:30 Gets back up- piddles around the house... sooo tired
4:00 Tried to sit in a chair that swivels but misses.  Falls to the ground, thankfully not far since he was trying to sit anyway.  I help him up by lifting him and direct him to bed as he is obviously very tired.  Help him get all four of his shirts off and his pants,  shoes and socks so he will be comfortable
7:15 Up and begins getting dressed
7:45 Still getting dressed so I start breakfast
8:30 Back under the covers,  Guess he is not getting up after all

While each nights events are different,  the timing of them is relatively similar.  On occasion you get lucky and he will sleep straight through.  But these are few and far between.
