Yes, we experience the dame thing with my dad. Sometimes we give up and turn it off. We have has luck with filtering what we watch. Light hearted comedy as opposed to action movies or talk shows where people argue. We have a movie he likes in the dvr that we put on during these times when he is aggrivated.

Aldo has mild sundowners at times but I keep very bright lights on after late afternoon...lately he's up early about 6 am and doesn't turn lights on and i find him a bit confused in am due to low lighting. iI also don't put disturbing news stations or loud overactive tv shows on in evening..

Sometimes happens here too. Even favourite Classical music concerts seem too stimulatory. Sensory overload?. I have found quiet music, without words/visuals works.

This sounds like sundowning and there are meds to decrease this s maybe talk to her dr..

with my husband, we could only watch a couple shows that he really liked from the past. A better alternative to TV for him was music that he used to enjoy. Near the end, music with words was too much for him and he did better with "easy listening " piano solos with no words. Internet radio has Ambient section with piano that worked well for him. I would run it through the TV.
