Sundowning happens at night, this is just his normal mix of dementia and hatred. Maybe he had extra "sugar" with his cereal this morning, but I don't want to blame the drugs.
IDK if you are serious, but in case you are, "sundowing" is a figure of language for "so old he's about to die".
Sundowning is also a group of symptoms that can affect dementia patients late in the day: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/expert-answers/sundowning/faq-20058511

Sundowning is more commonly a term used to describe the increased agitation, anxiety and behavioral problems exhibited by Alzheimer's and dementia patients in the early evening.
