Summary:
- Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes seizures. People with epilepsy often experience seizures while sleeping.
- A new study found that sleeping after a seizure may trigger more seizures in people with epilepsy. This is because the brain is more excitable and prone to abnormal electrical activity during sleep.
- The study suggests that staying awake for a period of time after a seizure may help prevent additional seizures from occurring. This information can help people with epilepsy manage their condition more effectively.
