Depends on state law: Depending on the state law where you live, seizures of any kind have to be in control with no recent seizure for you to maintain your drivers license.

If controlled: Most states have laws concerning criteria for getting a license with a diagnosis of epilepsy. Most insist on 6 to 12 months seizure free before being able to get the license. This includes nocturnal seizures as well as day time seizures. Discuss with your doctor. Good control is the goal regardless of the time of day of seizures. Nocturnal seizures are not less significant.
