I was told don’t get any more than four hours of sleep before my video EEG. Staid one night and had two seizures and was told I could go home the next day.

Being an EEG Tech or Neurodiagnostic Tech. , that sounds great! ! I have sz. When I least expect it! I hug people and walk away! I have drop seizures and get right up! My sleep study showed a lot most of the time my wake EEG showed all my Abn! It’s varied from patient to patient!

Yes, I was told to do this by an adult neurologist and adult epileptologist. To stay up all night until your test. They do this to trigger a seizure. For me at the time, thankfully came out normal. Probably because, I was use to it though staying up late. Sometimes during my last years of college I had done all nighters for a few days when it came to projects and tests (I wouldn't recommend doing this at all!). I wasn't bothered seizure wise (that I am aware of) but, I did experience a full burn out in the end. Part of it would have been less stressful if those your partnered with did their part in a project, instead of not doing anything at all. On top, of one year being snapped at from my professor over email. I was only being honest, in why I wasn't there for class and I get "Thank you! I didn't expect that from you. Do not let it happen again!".
Like I could control my alarm from, my mind. It was an online class during covid, I am normally always early and prepared and one time I slip and be honest I get snapped at. After that I wasn't late but, instead just stood up the rest of the day until class. Caffeine helped a lot but, not later on when I crashed. It could be from my body being used to it or just a blessing.

Yes! Being a technician I have asked a patient to go to sleep late!

My EEG I came about 10 am, checked in. Got up to my room, changed. EEG tech came and glued the electrodes after shaving my head. I just remember watching TV and the super bowl was on. I felt tired once my meds wore off in the evening. Nurse came in with the flashlight and flashed it on me. Early in the morning, next day I had a seizure. Went and did an MRI. Spent another day on the unit. Just glad when they removed the electrodes and everything else I was hooked up to. Able to shower, wash my hair and change clothes.
