How do you know if you're having seizures at night?
Wed, 10/25/2006 - 19:49A week or so ago, I noticed I had a pretty sore bruise on my elbow, and I have no idea how I got it. Then a few days later I found one on my forearm, still, I don't know where it came from. Also about a month or so before that I noticed I had bitten my tongue on the side and it was really sore, and once again, I do not remember doing that. I don't know if it's just my memory loss,a nd I don't remember doing this stuff or am I having seizures at night. All three were different situations. Any comments would be helpful!

I Love it Cathy! A fellow Nocturnal Husband Smacker.
Hubby gets mad...blames me for any bruises he has...says I hit him in my sleep. I swear I am not. I didn't even know I was having nocturnal seizures until my daughter told my Doctor.

I wake up feeling strange. It's a certain 'aura' - same distinct feeling every time. I can always tell when I've had one at night by the way I feel when I wake up. Many times my cheeks (and sometimes even my tongue) are pretty chewed up, too. I usually start a nocturnal seizure by grinding my teeth.
