Slow Wave SleepIt has been shown that seizures occur more frequently at the transition from wake to sleep, or from one stage of sleep to another. Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neuromodulator that controls wake and sleep stages, and is present at high levels during waking and is absent in slow...
I can also set up the amount of sleep I get through the clock on my phone. Ive been looking more into the app and have found that I can log my activities like exercise, pain or illness, caffeine or food intake, among others. Gives me a sense of security that if I have a seizure...
Interictal EEGs were completely normal both in waking and sleep, but ictal EEG recordings demonstrated focal discharges arising from occipital or temporal regions.

Complex partialseizureseither occur spontaneously or are sleep-activated. Most last 1 to 2 minutes and rarely less than 30 seconds. Less than 30% of children report an aura. It is usually a nondescript unpleasant feeling, but also may be a stereotypedauditory hallucinationorabdominal discomfort. ...

Sleep-waking state physiology is one of the most well documented factoKs affecting the clinical expression or suppression of human epilepsy 1,2 . Specifically, non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep and the gradual process of awakening from NREM sleep are the most vulnerable periods for seizures, ...
Semiology of intractable seizures consisted of waking from sleep with chewing, drooling and staring lasting few minutes before returning to sleep. After undergoing 3T MRI, FDG-PET and scalp EEG, stereo depth electrodes were implanted targeting bilateral anterior and mid cingulate gyrus, amygdala, ...
According to his wife, he had initially had a two-minute episode from sleep which had involved a tonic contraction of the upper extremities in addition to jaw locking. After waking, he had developed intermittent episodes of ‘barking’ and lip smacking, each lasting for 30–45 s. He had ...
In some examples, systems, devices, and techniques for determining a particular sleep stage of a patient, determining a seizure state of the patient during the particular sleep stag
After a baseline EEG, patients were asked to remain awake for 24 hours before taking a waking and a sleep EEG. Finally, the baseline EEGs were compared with findings from waking and sleep EEGs after sleep deprivation.Results : From 33 patients with sleep seizure, sixteen (48.5%) patients ...
