Is always not being able to sleep a symptom of epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to ask if a child needs to take antiepileptic medication after having two seizures? Also, is it epilepsy symptoms if the legs and arms twitch intermittently shortly after falling asleep? Is insomnia a symptom of epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

Once epilepsy is diagnosed, long-term medication is required for control. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it does not meet the diagnostic criteria for epilepsy.
