Do seizures from Photosensitive Epilepsy only happen at the time you are exposed to the light or can they happen later like when you are sleeping?

Each persons seizure  is different from seizures other people have. The seizure information basically lists some things that are familiar to most people. With you you have triggeres that can cause you to have a seizure. Well I have triggers too. Most triggers show up on lists. But I have a trigger that neurologists might know about that isn't on any of the lists I have seen or read. Triggers may cause a seizure but that does not mean it happens right then. for me I may have the seizure hours later or even the next day. Then too I may not even have a seizure
