A time of day more likely for manic activity?

Posted by DanielJ on April 7, 2004, at 12:22:41

Ever since my son has been diagnosed Schizotypical about 4 in the afternoon he becomes more restless and active than any other. It seems to be between 4 and 7 PM. Someone who runs a group home said thay call this "Sundowning" and that their residents with psychosis are most active during that time of day. Is this a universal phenomenon? This time is when my son is edgy and wired even though medications have controlled most of his illness. He repeats certain phrases over and over though otherwise his behavior is pretty much normal.
