October 29, 2024, Press Release from the Alzheimer's Association: TOLEDO, OH, Oct. 28, 2024—The time will change in Ohio on Nov. 3, falling back one hour. This signifies the shortening of light every day, which can present challenges for those who are living with Alzheimer’s and other dementia, as well as their families and caregivers. Changes in the season and thus the amount of daylight may cause confusion and behavior challenges for those impacted by Alzheimer’s or another dementia. “Families may notice that their loved one is increasingly confused about the day or time, and that confusion could make them wander,” said Pam Myers, senior director, programs for the Alzheimer’s Association Northwest Ohio and Central Ohio Chapters. “In addition, as it will get darker every day in the fall and winter, those living with Alzheimer’s may experience sundowning, even if they haven’t before.”
