A member asked:
How much can fatigue and stress effect petit mal or absence seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lower Threshold: Seizure threshold (the ability of the brain to withstand seizures) is lowered by sleep deprivation (lack of sleep). This can worsen pre existing seizure disorders such as petit mal or absence.
