Sleep Deprived EEGs is an old technique. I had those EEG’s done 3 different times when I was a kid. My Insomnia, I blame on that EEG technique..

They stopped with that in my state. The now just have you come to the clinic or hospital and have us lay one a bed . They start with they test . Opening and shutting my eye and the strobe light. After those they have rest and if you fall asleep , that’s even better.

Yes. It helps to get better results. When your sleep deprived it tends to trigger more activity for them to monitor

No I hope everything goes ok. For you x x

The technician that did my eeg was happy i deprived myself of sleep. She told me that it helps them to get more seizure activity recorded usually if you do deprive yourself. She had no instructions as to why i shouldnt have, even made a call to the neuro nurses since its all in the same hospital. They told her they had no recollection or record of giving those instructions. I know positively i was told that my neurologist said NOT to deprive myself. I guess its one of those im glad i have the history to have known. All she could tell me was we had a good test. I told her when i was having the tingling in my hands and feet and it was a lot so lets hope it showed up!

I was awake when I got my first eeg that was that that got diagnosed with epilepsy x x
