It means Seizures that happen during sleep in the frontal lobe so I would assume this means focal seizures.

How do you address it? There are meds you can take that will help control them, but you will most likely need to look in to getting sleeping aids at least a breath easy pillow. It may not be called that. But it's basically a pillow with lots a tiny hole in it.

Its important to note that everyones different and so everyones effected differently, so it doesn't mean people with get all these symptoms.

How do I address this? I don't believe there's a prescription for this type of thing.
