Re: [epilepsy] Re: seizures when asleep--

 

I would recommend you start keeping a journal, you might discover a
trigger. Keep a log each day of what you eat and drink, how much
physical activity you did, any stressful situations you encountered, how
much sleep you get a night, when you took your meds, any other over the
counter meds you took, and what you did each day. By doing to you may
discover a pattern to when you have seizures based on something in that
journal. You may discover you didn't drink as much, that you were in
the heat, you had more caffeine, it might be that you watched more TV.
It can be nearly anything as triggers vary so much for each person. The
trick is to track everything and see if there is a pattern that emerges.

Know it can get rather tedious to keep track, but it is more then worth
it if you find that pattern! Don't prejudge what you think may or may
not be worth writing down, just track it all. When I was doing it I
just used a spiral notebook, broke the pages into sections, and wrote in
each box. My boxes were food and drink, meds, stress, sleep, outdoor
activity, indoor activity. I just wrote in the boxes.
