A member asked:
What could cause seizures in my sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain attacks: Certain types of seizure seem to be more likely to occur from sleep. A benign focal epilepsy of childhood is such a type. Patients with complex partial seizures may be activated by sleep. Medications taken only in the morning may drop in level at night causing a seizure. An all night eeg sleep recording may help understand the condition.
