After many years seizure free I am now experiencing what I believe are night seizures-- has/does anyone else feel these same things ?

i did a sleep study and they told me i had a sleep disorder called sleep apnea. every night i was unconscious for 8-12 hours but i only actually get 4-6 hours sleep. since i started using a cpap machine to treat it, my seizures have gone from 1-2 a month to 1 every 6-8 months.

I'm also having night seizures followed with absence seizures only reason I know this is because in an absence seizure I either move objects around my room or in the morning I will find things like my hairdryer in the fridge or shoes in the freezer, once I even put bath towels in the toilet all of which I have no idea that I have done

It's been a long time since I had extreme spells in my sleep. I still have them , but they are more mild to moderate. But before my brain surgery , I had sleep spells almost every night . Some nights I would vocalize and make sounds . Other time I would roll back and forth on my bed and I would sometimes find myself on the floor. Then the one spell, that scared my mom the most , was when I would raise up from laying position, then I would slam back down on my bed. It would happen a few times threw the seizure.
