A member asked:

If i had 2 seizures in my sleep when i was in my teens if i was to have another one now at 30 years old would it most likely be in my sleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Unable to predict. It may or may not occur during sleep. Unfortunately, theres no way to predict.
