Epilepsy and sleep: How does it affect your seizures?

Hi everyone, how are you doing today? 😊

Lack of sleep is a well-known trigger for epileptic seizures, as it can disrupt the brain's electrical activity. Poor sleep quality or not getting enough rest may increase the frequency and intensity of seizures. Understanding this connection can help us build better sleep habits to reduce the risk of episodes.
