On the East Coast it's jocularly referred to as "sundowning." Mental status usually reverts to normal with the break of day, but unfortunately not always.

The 'container' answers are somewhat armilesque. Now I like f, i and n (which are arguably armilesque but I like 'em, anyway).
For sheer Creativity, though, I'll take C, please.
