Is it possible to have grandmal seizures only when sleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, not uncommon: Regardless, if you do possess seizures, you absolutely need to be on medication, i.e., anti epileptic drugs. There is a distinct risk of SUDEP (death at night), and you need to see a neurologist ASAP. Do NOT delay, get this under control. All the best.
