A member asked:
I'm currently dealing with seizures so does going to bed past midnight and getting at least 7 hours of sleep still trigger seizures?

If you are having repetitive epileptic events, it is necessary to take appropriate medication at therapeutic range levels. Otherwise, adequate sleep will play a trivial role. See a neurologist and get this handled. But, currently, avoid driving, activities at heights, use of power equipment, swimming, or bathing alone. (Your doctor may have contacted the Calif. MVD?)
