A member asked:
If you do have a seizure before waking up from sleep, can you remember that you did have one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Most seizures do not produce a memory of the event. You might have indirect clues in your surroundings that your sleep was compromised but you are not likely to remember a seizure.
