How can you tell if you had a seizure last night in bed or any at all? What are the signs that help you know? .

For me is when:

I have no appitite
I don’t feel like doing anything that i usually do
I lost my sense of smell, taste, touch and hearing is a lil more sensitive than usual
Fatigue
Depression and anxiety
And a few more that i can’t think of at the moment

No idea if i had a seizure last night or not, but from my waist down i am sore. Probably did have one
Sometimes im a lil confused… read more

Usually the signs that tell me that I had a seizure while I was asleep as the fact that I'll wake up and my mouth will be sore in some way because I accidentally bit the inside of my cheek or My lip or my tongue and I'll wake up with a bruise that I didn't have the day before but another thing that makes me realize it is I have something called OCD I'm very obsessive compulsive about how stuff is put and how clean stuff is now when I have a seizure at night when I wake up the next day I'm usually wanting to clean and put stuff back in order almost all day long
