Hi.. just wondering if anyone could shed some light please?

Most nights my 1 year old daughter (who has possible myoclonic epilepsy) wakes every 40 minutes or so & won't resettle.. I know babies are babies & love to sleep deprive their Mum at any opportunity, but I feel that there's more to it..

As she can't tell me what's happening, I was hoping someone could be a voice for her..

Does anyone who have myoclonic epilepsy notice that they have more jerks than the average person when they are on the light end of their sleep cycle? If so, how does this affect you?

Thanks for any info...
