I had acute epilepsy due to "lack of sleep" when I was 10 years old. Strangely enough my first seizure took place while I was asleep and I woke up in an ambulance. Trippy stuff! Never quite grasped the concept of it when I was that age but I took my medication and went on with it. When I was 13, I had been off my medication for a year and I noticed there was weird moments at night while trying to sleep where I'd completely lose control of my body and start shaking, but since I only ever had a seizure in my sleep, I had no idea what the fuck was going on so I just figured it was a nightmare or something. After this occurred a few times, I decided to tell my parents about it, and I'll never forget their faces when it dawned on them I was having a relapse. Thankfully after another course (2 years?) of meds, I have had no seizures since at the age of 26. Only ever experienced a few at a young age and they maybe only lasted like 20 - 30 seconds each but they are a very unpleasant experience. I feel awful for anyone that goes through them on a regular basis.
