Members shared a wide range of sleep patterns in response to this question about managing sleep with epilepsy and other conditions, with most agreeing that consistency is helpful but not always realistic. Several members described challenges like insomnia, chronic fatigue, and nocturnal seizures that make a set schedule hard to keep, while others shared helpful strategies like herbal tea, sleep-tracking apps, and medication when traveling.
