Stress and Seizures
Mon, 04/18/2011 - 09:55Hi,
I had a seizure a month ago. I was on a 12 hour work shift when this seizure occurred. Are seizures triggered by a lack of rest? Can stress, such as a 12 hour work shift (with a short lunch break) cause a seizure? Has anyone here experienced this?

Stress and sleep deprivation are definitely triggers. Major triggers for a lot of us!
I'm guessing the 12 hour day work is new to you, otherwise you probably wouldn't be having this problem...
Take care and hope this helps.
