Hey everyone. I am starting to become more aware of symptoms and I think I may have had a temporal lobe seizure last night. Does this sound like a seizure to you?

I am thankfully seeing a neurologist soon. I have been experiencing symptoms similar to the experience I'm about to describe for about two years. I just thought it was headaches or some residual side effect of Asperger's since I also have that. Are your seizures anything like this? Last night, I got home at 10:00. Not very late and much earlier than my usual bed time. I was sitting in bed doing work, and all of a sudden I felt extremely fatigued, like couldn't even check my syllabus to see what homework I had, get up to make my lunch for tomorrow, or brush my teeth. It was almost like I was stuck in my bed. I felt extremely detached from the world and there was a faint ringing in my ears. I felt like I was in some sort of trance. These have DEFINITELY happened to me before but I always thought it was just sleepiness. But I'm never that tired on a typical night, ever. I was compelled to just fall asleep, so I did. I woke up 6 hours later (now) feeling fine. I did experience a very slightly stressful situation prior to this, so I wonder if that triggered the seizure (if that's what it is). Thank you everyone!
