I know there's no standard, but does this sound likely?

this morning after very turbulent/bad dreams but what seemed like a hard sleep- waking up nauseous and with a mild headache and feeling that 'lost' feeling, like ... you know, the more I relate it to previous sensations and when I've experienced them I'm thinking I may have very well had a type of sleep seizure.

I ate really starchy/greasy food last night later than I usually eat

you know, it sucks, in retrospect I've woken up like this a lot through my life - because I recall this type of "thing" when I'm experiencing it, but never had anything to "blame"

it feels in part like I was visited last night, having a strange voices thing prior to going to sleep - a strange acuity before sleeping, and a type of mental turbulence

it's still hard for me to figure out what is what when I'm wondering when I have milder or sleep seizures
it was obvious to my family and coworkers when I'd had the TC seizures, and to myself then as I was coming to

no more greasy starchy foods for me:
fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy - it was good - but not that good - definitely not to eat that late

is there any relation anyone knows about that links bad foods that can be sleep disruptive, and sleep disruption bringing about seizure brainwave patterns?

and waking up nauseous, headache in a parallel universe :/? is this common indication of sleep seizure?
it feels like some kind of major jet-lag (I guess, because I've never had jet-lag more than an hour or two) and like I've slept a day, or that I don't remember a day

ugh - I think I've had complex partial seizures this morning - one just now blabbering - but having some vague consciousness
very tired
this sucks
it will be a good day from now on
I need to think positively and just let it move on and allow myself to feel this vagueness
I think I feel a lot of guilt for feeling this post-ictal stuff - I need to let it slide

this feels like nonsense - going onward with the day seems like a movie rerun or something distant

sometimes I wish I had a permanent EEG of some sort attached to my head so I could have some confirmation of seizure activity and not just try to figure out if my feeling like this relates to epilepsy

I feel ill - I need to start walking to get to work - I hope it will help me to start feeling better

it sucks having this feeling make me feel guilty and sad and ill
but since being diagnosed, at least these feelings I can assess into being seizure related

I feel hungover and nauseous, confused, emptied and with a looming migraine - I need to go eat - I could have slept a day for all I know

it is Saturday the 24th right? 2011?

I really appreciate this forum
if no one has answers, which no one will, at least I can get these issues expressed
bad sleep, bad dreams, wake up w headache, nausea, thought dispersion, feelings of being observed, manipulated... feels like I'm waking up after a day in another dimension of some sort - or like someone has manipulated my experiences

and no I'm not "hung over" hung over - I'm sober 8 1/2 years
I wonder if my then drinking was compensatory for minor seizures, or was an instigator

ok I need to head to work... I hope I start to feel better soon - ugh

I'm trying to not think about it so much - thinking too much makes me more ill it seems

Thank you
 
Eating Anything that's too hard to digest too close to bed time will make it harder to sleep but a teacher showed us how if you have protein too close to bed time it will interfere with your sleep as well. Doesn't take much, a slice of cheese can do it.
 
yeah- I've also had a couple absence/complex something seizures this morning so I'm prone to think it was a cluster period
ugh
not a good evening/day
I've been starting to feel better lately, with some food
not great though

whew...
 
Seizures suck! That is my conclusion. I am glad I know what the problem is but they still not fun. Sorry you are feeling bad.
