Only when the daytime comes too quickly & night time ends to quickly. In which case I don't get enough sleep

Not much difference between day or evening for me except I am usually busier during the day. I mostly have nocturnal seizures but they have been fewer since taking medication. I keep a journal. I am aware of most triggers so I try to be careful. I do suffer from insomnia occasionally which is not good but meditation and reading have helped this. I also take a PM occasionally. I talk to my neurologist about all this but usually don’t get a conclusive annswer except to change medication. I guess I’m still working on figuring all this out. The posts I read on this site help, thanks to all!

It's great that you feel comfortable with both daytime and nighttime activities. Many people find that lack of sleep or changes in circadian rhythms can trigger seizures, but it sounds like you have not noticed much of an effect. If you do experience more nocturnal seizures, tracking details in a seizure diary could help identify any patterns. Staying active and enjoying hobbies like stargazing can be great self-care. As for preferences between day and night, that comes down to personal choice. Some people feel they have more energy at certain times. If insomnia is an issue, avoiding screens before bed, limiting caffeine, and practicing relaxation techniques could help. Checking in with your doctor about any sleep changes is wise.

My daytime seizures used to have effect on my nighttime sleep. For several years I would wake up about 4 hours early and not be able to fall back asleep. We noticed that all the mornings I was waking up early and staying awake was a morning following a day I had a seizure. After a while every morning I woke up early I’d tell my mom “I had a seizure yesterday didn’t I?” and the answer would always be “Yes”.

My seizures have seemed to have changed from mid-day to nighttime. I blame hormones.
