Epilepsy Tip: Rest Up

Although epileptics generally require the same amount of sleep as anyone else, late nights or an overall sleep deficit can dramatically raise the risk of seizures. For this reason, make sure to go to sleep around the same time each night, keep a sleep journal (so you can show your doctor), and make sure your bedroom is a sleep-friendly environment--dark, quiet, and comfortably cool.
