Patient's question:
Some people with epilepsy experience constant trembling in their sleep, unaware of what's happening. I experienced this today and it really scared me. Is this normal under normal circumstances? Hello, what is the relationship between epilepsy and deep sleep?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a condition caused by abnormal electrical impulses in the brain. Since these impulses are abnormal, it means that the recurrence of epilepsy has no regular pattern. It can occur during work, while eating, during deep sleep, or while walking, meaning it can happen at any time. Therefore, epilepsy has no relationship with deep sleep; it can recur at any moment. It is essential that we ensure there is a 24-hour companion for epilepsy patients.
