Why seizure often occurs during sleep time?
Seizures often occur during sleep due to changes in brain activity and the balance of neurotransmitters, which can be disrupted during this state. The brain's decreased responsiveness to external stimuli during sleep may also contribute to an increased likelihood of seizure activity. Additionally, certain types of epilepsy, such as nocturnal seizures, are specifically linked to sleep cycles, particularly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep when brain activity is heightened. Lack of sleep or sleep disorders can further exacerbate the risk of seizures.
Can someone sleep through the warning signs of a seizure?
Just leave them until the seizure is over. Make sure the area is safe though. When the seizure is over put them in the recovery position, tipping their head back to make sure their airway is clear
