My son seizures almost always begin on Monday or Tuesday at school
between 7AM and 7:40 AM. What do you make of that? He also has an occasional seizure on a weekend afternoon. 2)     My husband thinks the seizures could be cause by watching too much TV
/videogames/computer time on the weekends. He sleeps in on the weekend. He sleeps less on school nights because he has school. He never appears tired in the AM. My husband thinks we shouldn’t
> let him sleep in on weekends to keep every day the same. Should I be tracking food and hours slept as well? The doctor did give me the packet on the VNS but there was no information as to the percentage of success.

What is happening at school at that time? Does it stress him out?
School anxiety can trigger seizures. Try to come up with coping plans. Do you have a behavior team at school to work with? AS for the games, tv, ect, he would have the seizures DURING the games, not at school the next day. Being tired can lower a person's seizure threshold, making it easier to have a seizure. Try to see what you can do to improve his sleep. Sleep can be an issue with spectrum people. If you don't let him sleep on weekends, he will have more seizures on weekends. Keeping track of more information is great. Also keep track of what they were working on is school before the seizure. I don't think he needs more blood work. I do not recall a % for VNS but it could allow him to lower his meds. My son is on lower meds with it and some meds were eliminated. I haven't heard of foods triggering seizures unless they stress the person. Anything that strsses the person can trigger seizure.
