It is not uncommon to withhold AEDs when trying to record seizure activity. I would discuss with your doctor that since you haven't had any clinical seizures if withdrawing some of your meds could be tried to provoke a seizure.
They did this with my daughter.

It may sound as something stupid and i am no doctor and have no clue if its even normal to sujjest such a thing but you may try of course with the approval of the doctor to drink alcohol like vodka go to sleep for 2 hours wake up walk like 5 minutes and return to bed.Now try to close your eyes and if it doesn't help try using flashes with eyes being closed.
I don't think someone could give you a good sujjestion,on each person it work diffrently,when i move my leg up and my muscle of the leg starts to shake i can get a seizure.
besides interapting sleep won't do anything unless its the middle of the night.try going to sleep in 3 in the morning and wake up in like 6 oclock usually at thoe hours you will be in deep stage of sleeping maybe it should make the seizure for you after you wake up.
about the alcohol thing altough it sounds stupid its the only thing that will provoke the seizures really good
