Default Spouse's 5:00pm Symptoms - PTSD Physically Wears Them Out

I am wondering if anyone has seen this behavior with their spouse: My husband becomes very exhausted by 1:00 from dealing with his life's stresses. After lunch, he takes an hour or hour and a half nap. He gets up and forces himself to stay up by doing chores around the house. By 5:00, he is tottering on his feet, looking at me with a dazed look and definitly will not remember anything we have talked about around this time. He goes to bed. Then, in the morning, he is my old lovely husband again until after lunch when everything starts going down hill again.
He did this before he was put on meds. Now, at 5:00, he takes his pills and crashes until around 4 in the morning. No problems with flashbacks. Before, he would crash and sleep like the dead until 12:00. Then he would be tormented by flashbacks. What do you think?
