My friends and family noticed that some 90 yo people speak and think better around 4pm. is that because bp meds wear off and they were low or other?

Bp: Could be bp. Could be other medications. Could be increased attentiveness in the afternoon. Nothing about 90to year old is predictable except they do not need 120/80 BP target...Usually do not tolerate it.
