The End of Daylight Savings Time…Did You Know?

On Sunday, November 7, daylight savings time ends, and we turn our clocks back 1 hour.  Most of us are happy to gain an hour of sleep, but for caretakers of seniors with dementia, the time change can prove to be challenging. For seniors with dementia, the effects can become much more pronounced and cause disruption, frustration and difficulty for caregivers. Sundowning symptoms often become more pronounced in the days following daylight savings time, and confusion can increase as well.
