Sure. Thinking of the word "giraffe" might do it to some people. :-) Point is *anything* can be a trigger for an processing error in our brain. Our brains are all very different. Saying "epilepsy" is like saying "vehicle" -- which could mean anything from a canoe to a space craft. It's just a class of symptoms. It is quite possible that no two people ever have had -exactly- the same kind of epilepsy. But, there are general classes of symptoms which of course can be helped often by the same drugs.

- But anyway, absolutely the screen time might be a trigger. Or it might not. Ultimately nobodies opinion but yours on this matters, not mine or even your doctors. You have to test it. Look at how often you have seizures, and start correlating it with screen time. Have very little or no screen time for longer than the average time between seizures and see what happens. Change that ratio back and forth and track correlations. If you have seizures every few days or less than it should be easy to regulate screen time for short periods. However if your seizures are weeks apart, then it will take a lot of discipline. But it is the only way of accurately finding the truth about this.

Same here! If not watching tv listening to true crime podcasts.

Fortunately I don’t have any issues. I know that sometimes, I can stay up all night and not even realize it. But I will say that my new glasses do have the UV protection that they recommend for those wh spend a lot of time on a computer or phone as well as mentioning TV. 👍❤️🙏

I usually watch tv in mornings as well as in the evenings. I actually set my smart phone so it will go into Do Not Disturb mode at a specific time every day. During this time only certain applications that I allow can work and only certain persons that I have given approval can contact me.

Since using this setting I have been able to relax, have specific family or me time without concern of the phone ringing.
