onder: My neurologist explained that the top two triggers for a seizure are lack of sleep and stress. The past few nights I visited a friend at her house. I tossed and turned the first night getting virtually no sleep. The new stimulation must have triggered a full evening of no sleep. I tossed and turned thinking I have to sleep or I'll seize - stressfull! No sleep. No seizure the next day. Next night averaged three hours sleep. Again stressing - if I don't sleep I'll seize. Home last night and I took me three hours to dream land. Usually after my heavy evening meds I'm sleeping after 15 min. Lack of sleep and stress caused my first seizure last year and I'm at the point where I'm afraid to hit the pillow tonight. I try to keep my life as stress free as possible now and with the meds I imagine these recent nocturnal nightmares are keeping the seizures at bay. Does anyone have this problem tossing and turning in their minds? Laurie
