Most probably not: First of all, who diagnosed u with epilepsy. Who saw u having a seizure? Did u only have one seizure episode. What were the results of eeg, MRI or ct scan of brain. Any history of head injury, loc, fall or brain injury. Any metabolic causes of seizures, eg. Hypoglycemia or electrolyte abnormality. Most probably, u will not have any other episode and no one can predict that it will be during sleep.
