Staying Asleep
Sun, 05/31/2020 - 12:40Hi everyone, I am new to this forum but I have been living with epilepsy for 20 years. Over the past two years, my condition has declined somewhat, and I am having frustrating new symptoms that I didn't have before. One of them is an inability to stay asleep in the morning. I am waking up earlier and earlier despite all my attempts to stay asleep. This morning and yesterday I was up at 5:15 and 5:37, respectively, and this is on a weekend day when I want to be sleeping in (until at least 8 AM lol). Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, can you give me any advice on what to do about it?

Hi, Thank you for posting. Practicing good sleeping habits is important for both physical and mental health. Not enough, or poor quality of sleep is a common trigger for some individuals living with epilepsy. https://www.epilepsy.com/sites/core/files/atoms/files/Sleep%20factsheet.pdf . It’s important that you address these challenges and the newer symptoms you’re experiencing with your healthcare team, who can work with you to determine what individual treatment plan is best for you. Be open and honest about how you’re feeling, and how this is affecting your health and daily life.
