In the 1060's and 1970's my mum returned to work,she was an RN.She worked permanent night shift.She would get agitated in the night as she was too tired to work.
She was in a nursing home and she thought she was in charge.Sometimes she was agitated all the time.
My 25 year old son suffers anxiety and depression as does my niece and they both get very agitated at sundown.
