Does Anybody Else Tend To Wake Up 4 Or 5 Hours Early Every Morning Following A Day You Had A Seizure And Not Be Able To Fall Back Asleep?
When I was a child there were a lot of mornings where I woke up at 4 or 5 o’clock and couldn’t fall back asleep. My mom noticed it was always the morning after I had a seizure. It got to where every morning I woke up early I’d tell my mom “I had a seizure yesterday didn’t I? The answer would always be yes.
I am usually so tired that I sleep all night and most of the next day.
I have almost 100% nocturnal seizures these days - a few absence ones from time to time but not often. I am usually unaware that I have had a seizure or seizures (tonic/clonic) until I wake up in the morning and realise I have a badly bitten tongue and that I am "feeling weird(?!)". As I can have my seizures from about 1 hour after I fall asleep till as late as 6am, only my husband really knows when they happen. I don't have any problem falling asleep afterwards - my husband says it's almost instantaneous.
I am actually the opposite, I sleep more than usual. I sleep shortly after the seizure and I sleep all through the night.

My lack of sleep would always just be the night after I had a seizure. So it has something to do with seizure activity.
Lordie, what I wouldn’t give for 6 hours sleep! Seems the older I get the less sleep (for different reasons). Is your lack of rest due to seizure activity only?
