Is it possible to have absence seizures overnight?
My 19months sleep is so broken and we have a night vision camera on his now with motion detect. He is a very active sleeper, if you can actually call it sleep. He is always stretching/arching back, sometimes hands/arms will shake briefly, he has his strange spasms. What I have noticed more though is when he is awake overnight it is as though he has an absence seizure he will be wide awake, rolling around playing etc then suddenly he will stop moving, eyes stay wide open and go vacant, every now and then you get a small tiwtch of a finger, he might blink 3 or 4 times within that time, usualy a couple of minutes then he suddenly will be back. He is often lying on his side and if his arm is up in the air when this happens it gradually comes down to near his body, doesn't fall. He has absence seziures in the day.
Seeing his Nureologist on Thursday so will show him the footage.
