Epilepsy Northwest News & Blog Answer by John W. Miller, MD, PhD. Although many people with epilepsy find that their seizures are affected by sleep, different individuals have very different patterns. Some only have seizures during sleep; some only have them when they are awake. It’s also not unusual for seizures to be stronger if they happen during sleep. People with some types of epilepsy often have seizures right after they wake up in the morning. With most types of epilepsy, lack of sleep or poor sleep can trigger seizures.

- Like other kinds of seizures, they are caused by abnormal activity in a person’s brain. You may also hear people call absence seizures petit mal (“PUH-tee mahl”) seizures, although that name is not common anymore. There are two types of absence seizures: 1  Simple absence seizures: During a simple absence seizure, a person usually just stares into space for less than 10 seconds.  Complex absence seizures: During a complex absence seizure, a person will make some kind of movement in addition to staring into space. Movements may include blinking, chewing, or hand gestures. A complex absence seizure can last up to 20 seconds.

Epileptic seizure Seizures can also occur in people who do not have epilepsy for various reasons including brain trauma, drug use, elevated body temperature, low blood sugar and low levels of oxygen. Additionally, there are a number of conditions that look like epileptic seizures but are not. A first seizure generally does not require long term treatment with anti-seizure medications unless there is a specific problem on either electroencephalogram or brain imaging.

- Most frogs and toads are nocturnal, however there are some groups which are largely diurnal. These include the Dendrobatidae (poison-dart frogs) and Mantellas which are found in tropical forests of Central/South America and Madagascar, respectively. * The term diurnal refers to a tide which has a period or cycle of approximately one tidal day (about 25 hours). Diurnal tides usually have one high and one low tide each day. The tides at Karumba are a typical example of diurnal tides.

Epilepsy and seizures during sleep Epilepsy is generally classified into two main categories based on seizure type: Partial (also called focal or localized) seizures.

- Yes, it can. Seizures are very sensitive to sleep patterns. Some people have their first and only seizures after an all-nighter at college or after not sleeping well for long periods. If you have epilepsy, lack of ‘good sleep’ makes most people more likely to have seizures. It can even increase the intensity and length of seizures. Some forms of epilepsy are especially prone to sleep problems.

What Causes Seizures in Dogs and Cats? Seizures in Dogs and Cats. Seizures in dogs and cats are abnormal brain activity. They can be very subtle or they can cause violent convulsions.

- These are sometimes called Nocturnal Seizures. Some people have seizures occur only during sleep whilst others have both daytime and nocturnal seizures. Studies have shown that 10 - 45% of people with epilepsy have seizures that occur predominantly or exclusively during sleep or occur with sleep deprivation. Sleep is divided into many stages. The majority of nocturnal seizures occur in light sleep - soon after falling asleep, before waking or around arousal during the night. This is especially true with temporal lobe seizures, myoclonic seizures, and atypical absence spells.

- Epilepsy and an overview of the types of seizures. Based on the type of behavior and brain activity, seizures are divided into two broad categories: generalized and partial (also called local or focal). Classifying the type of seizure helps physicians diagnose whether or not a patient has epilepsy.
