Because of my medications and my natural body rhythms my sleep schedule is a little unusual. I don't live by the clock for the most part. If I'm tired, I go to sleep. If I'm not, I wake up. Unfortunately, sometimes life demands that I am up when my body would rather not be. We all have days when we have to live around someone else's clock rather than what our body desires. I have noticed that this does have an effect on my seizure patterns. If I'm dead exhausted, I generally will have a seizure. Even if it holds off until I finally can get to bed, my husband tells me I will have one in the middle of the night. Then I'm more susceptible to them in frequency for a few days. This is why I sleep any time my body asks me to. Sometimes I feel as though I sleep through life, but I don't have the really BAD ones that leave me hurt.

> Can anyone correlate their sz's with lack of sleep? How much sleep do you get and how do you relate quality of sleep with following days and sz's that may occur.

> One thing that I have found, is things are not immediately related day to day. For example, if you get a poor night's sleep one night, the effect does not last only the next day but two or more days afterwards, i.e. your tired for this long. When you get a great nights sleep, I feel the best for several days. I can't say my sz's are related to lack of sleep but I was wondering if others have any different experiences. I was once told that the body will eventually end up having a sz if starved of sleep for a long enough period of time, i.e. days. It's nature's way to force the body to sleep. Can anyone comment on this or heard anything differently. Thanks for your support and take care.
