I don't doubt it. Apparently, it's a fairly well-known effect. I'm just glad that there seems to be no reason for me to take anything seriously potent for sleep or (OK, call me spoiled, but God forbid) polytherapy. I have a 15 yo autistic son and other health issues, so simple has to be the name of the game.
LIZARD, who thinks I got it figured out :)

Ever think of asking your family Dr for a prescription for sleeping pills to combat the insomnia. It is not like you are asking for such a prescription so that you can have your 20 cups of coffee during the graveyard shift! Furthermore the keppra would probably lose its' effectiveness as sleep is needed to control Epilepsy along with the Keppra.
