Nocturnal Seizures

Tue, 04/28/2015 - 00:30

I have had epilepsy for about twenty years and all seizures have been nocturnal.  That is until just recently.  I had the brain surgery just over three years ago and still have seizures and they have still been nocturnal.  The last two I have had have been during the day.  One did happen today.  I live alone and had just cleaned up and was getting ready to go outside to ride my bike, but I woke up in my bed about 90 minutes later.  I had no idea what was going on.  I have never remembered any one of my seizures all these years, which I wish I would.  I just wondered if this happened to others that had the nocturnal and they switched to daytime as well.
