A member asked:
Are night terrors and lip smacking related to epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If the night terrors are not remembered, they could be related to seizure activity. Lip smaking is not uncommon during sleep but could be related to seizure activity as well. Usually during sleep seizure activity, there is movement and posturing of one side of the body.
