Besides answering the nocturnal attacks. What do people around you think is happening?
if i'm in bed sleeping, i don't know until i wake up, nor does hubby-he'd be sleeping. if i have one when i'm trying to fall asleep....again most of the time i'm alone so i just stay in bed til i'm back to "normal" hahahahaha...i'm not normal..
My friends and family are caring and loving. When I am outside they just call 911
To be honest I’m not exactly sure why we have seizures at night bc I’m new to this. This would be a question for Randy or some of the other people in our group that have had seizures for a long time. I’m curious too!!
No one is in the room with me when I am sleeping. I only gained confirmation that I had nocturnal seizures when I was in the hospital for a week in EEG Long Term Monitoring and the first 2 seizures I had were nocturnal seizures. All of the seizures that I had in there were partial seizures, thus they were either Focal Onset Impaired Awareness Seizures (complex partial seizures) or were nocturnal partial seizures of either type.

Nocturnal seizures: These can be any of the type of full and partial seizures that you have, but I only had partial seizures while in the EEG Long Term Monitoring, so I have no idea if I have an Absence Seizure while I am asleep. And likewise have no proof that I have any other form of full seizure.
I have only had nocturnal seizures and never been awake for one. I live alone so was very fortunate my daughter was here for the first one. I remember nothing except woke up in hospital next day. I have no idea why I only have nocturnal. Curious.
