Person Comes Into The Living Room Undressed, Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night, Doing Strange Things. Problem?
I'm wondering about sundowners. Chuck is normally a very private person but for sometime now he is acting off. He will go through the house naked he is 66yrs. old .He has never done this before . He also does different strange things late afternoon into evening. Like today he came into the living roon undressed sat at the computor for a long while taking a bunch of cables then left. He will sit up in the middle of the night for 30-45 min. then I'll try to talk to him and he will lay down.Is this maybe that kind of problem?

Hello,
Thanks for posting on HCM,
Given his age it is likely that he might be suffering from a neurodegenerative diseases and it is quite obvious that he is having a mental issue and he is definitely going to need proper psychiatric evaluation.
Mental disorder of any kind could make him act that way. If trying to speak to him yields no fruits, then you will need to have him see a mental health doctor as soon as you can.
Hope this helps
