Re: [epilepsy] Sleep



CBI same here. It is the quality of sleep and yes it doesn't have to occur right then or the next day.
Sometimes it takes several triggers combined to give me a seizure. It just depends where my seizure threshold
is at that time. If it is 'high' (which means less chance of seizures) it takes quite a few triggers to set
one off. But if am on the verge of having one and my threshold is 'low' somehow my immune system is likely
low and it won't take much to set of a seizure, or even just a mini breakthrough.
Just my two cents worth of experience.

Subject: [epilepsy] Sleep

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.
