In 2016 I was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy — essentially epilepsy with little/no explanation for the cause. Prior to my diagnosis I had horrible sleeping habits. Though we have no official evidence, my neurologist and I both think that years of abusing sleep was a large factor in my development of epilepsy. Finally, sleep and fatigue are major triggers for my seizures (if I don’t get a good nights rest then I’m much more likely to have an episode).
