Fran Emerson, the program director for the Charleston Alzheimer’s Association, speaks in this aging podcast with Sally Smith about some of the manifestations of Alzheimer’s Disease. She explains the term “sun-downing,” which refers to the increase in Alzheimer’s symptoms towards the end of the day, and attributes this phenomenon to patients becoming tired as the day progresses.
