Insomnia/Sleep problems
Mon, 12/15/2008 - 14:06I was wondering if anyone could tell me if epilepsy (moderately active) can be associated/cause insomnia or general truble with sleeping (difficulty settling down)?
Since my epilepsy has been active again I've found myself having trouble sleeping. I dont know if epilepsy can affect sleep or not; I was having seizures in my sleep, especially in my past, not so much now.

I always have sleep problems. I can sleep 8-10 hours a night and feel l like I have not slept yet and other times I get no sleep and feel the same way. My doctors have all told me that is one of the side affects to my medication. I hope this helps you.
