OK one thing for me since I'm a very light sleeper when people are talking too much you know that I can get my sleep I mean I guess we'll call that lack of sleep by of course so I don't like when people are talking when I'm sleeping unless you keep it at a low volume loud noises like music and everything like that that can trigger a seizure and I see 1 of them 1 person commented that oh it doesn't really matter what we're doing because we can have a seizure of course at any moment when once or twice I had a seizure at work and I know that I was downstairs at the pool watching over these children I had a seizure over there and I know that on that same day I had a seizure in the bathroom and all I was doing was walking back-and-forth filling up glue bottles so I'm like I don't know was it because I'm tired I know I've been walking up and downstairs all day so maybe it's because I'm tired and that's why I feel like

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member My first neurologist told me back in 1997 that it doesn't matter how much medicine that he gives me (actually too much can trigger seizures, but that is a different subject) if I cannot do my part. He told me that I need to get 6 hours of sleep/night, do my very best to remain positive and as calm as possible (stop worrying about seizures) and find fund hobbies to do in order to help me to keep my mind off of it which will in turn control depression and stress levels. And he recommended no use of electronics (light in it is a stimulant to the inner eye and thus makes it more difficult to get to sleep) within several hours of going to bed. Meditation and the like before bed is much better if you can do it.

Of course, over time I found that if I cannot stop my brain from thinking, then I don't get to sleep. I also discovered that using electronics (even a computer) before I went to sleep had no effect on keeping me awake as long as I could stop thinking about the troubles or key points of the day and let my conscious mind go to sleep.

Alcohol!!!!! The next day every time. I don’t even go down that road anymore

Yeah, this is very true! Everyone is unique and each body reacts in different ways and their brain acts in different ways to many different things? So how can the same medication control this disease/illness? I used to react to Red Wine: it always caused seizures! When I was a teenager. Not now? Why?

Honestly it doesn't matter what I do for my mind to trigger a partial or full blown seizure they can happen with myself doing anything and at any certain point of time cause i don't know when 1 could automatically strike me cause they are permanent and no one knows but but myself afterwards sometimes when they happen.
