Some people with epilepsy experience seizures only when they are awake, some while asleep and some have a mixture of both. There are many different types of seizures and some are more likely to occur during certain stages of sleep. There are a number of sleep conditions that can be confused with seizures. These include sleep walking, restless leg syndrome, sleep terrors, bed wetting, sleep apnea and narcolepsy. It is important to be correctly diagnosed to ensure that the right treatment is prescribed.
