@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member tell your dr about the slightest seizure or a funny feeling. even if you just have nocturnal seizures, tell your drs. driving is overrated. what if you dont tell your dr about this little seizure and when you are driving you have a bad seizure? i know it sucks but there are a lot of taxi apps (uber and lyft) you can use. i was a kid when i was diagnosed and i wint from point a to point b with family and/or uber rides. you are like the car. if something small goes wrong and you didnt go to the mechanics... you may pay for it latter.

morning, noon, night or midnight... it dose not matter. if you sleep and you have a seizure you have a nocturnal seizure. nocturnal seizures did not mean only at night. it means you are asleep or falling asleep.

They took my license away for years till I had proof that I had nocturnal seizures. But get some sleep studies done and be careful, having siezures at night is a big deal in itself I’ve died twice because you don’t always wake up and go rite back into another siezure causing my heart and body to get overworked so please don’t take your nocturnal seizures lightly

I have them quote a lot it’s usually when I’m so tired I feel like I’m falling asleep but I’m not because I’m awake and know I’m having my partial seizure before it starts

Both my nuero are pretty sure it's nocturnal epilepsy as I've only had 2 daytime seizures
