Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / July 2007complex-partial while sleeping?
I have complex-partial seizures, sleep apnea and 1000 other things. Has any one had similar experiences? I woke up Fri morning at about 4 am. My right hand was moving toward the ceiling. it was about three inches above me. it was not a conscious act. Months ago my wife saw me once "sky writing." My right hand was up in the air and it was moving about as if i were writing. I have a vague recollection of it happening. It did happen. That's probably what this was. I couldn't sleep, took a half mg of lorazepam and went back to bed. I slept until 8 and I don't remember dreaming. yes. I do have them sometimes in my sleep. I've also fallen off of my chair while trying to get up to get my medicine and lie down. I usually end up taking either a topamax or vicodin because I don't have anything to stop it, my family won't let me hve anything. >I have complex-partial seizures, sleep apnea and 1000 other things.

I took one mg loraze last night, instead of the prescribed one half. But for two trips to the pot I sdlept for 12 hours. I did dream. The onme I remember was about my health and in the dream I realized I was - in the dream - having a panic attack. >>I have complex-partial seizures, sleep apnea and 1000 other things.

Supposedly we dream 4-6x per night and only recall what was going on if we awaken during it, or are disturbed to move to a higher level of alertness while it's going on. The REM sleep (rapid eye movement during sleep) occurs when we've moved to a more relaxed state and was used sometimes in Sleep studies to determine when the person being studied had entered the dream state. The lorazepam probably helped you relax and move into the deeper sleep state without having a restless night. (One theory of the REM sleep was it was the brain doing 'house cleaning' to clear out things that happened the previous day that weren't important to remember. Other stuff we learn or that are important get moved into another area of the brain where long-term memory is stored. Kind of a Disk Compression of the Mind. :-> ) G./ that's a new perspective, I never thought of it that wy. thanks! >> > yes. I do have them sometimes in my sleep.

I uusually will not wake -up before 9am and most days it is 11or 12 before I wake-up I have even slept until 2in the afternoon and this is not after a seisure. Any help will be welcome.

Mike H I, too, have sleep apnea. My nasal passages are horribly clogged and a good night's sleep is hard to find. Do you use a Bi-Pap or C-Pap? If not, why not? Have you ever tried a nasal irrigation system? There's one here, called "Pulsatile." It works well, but, the clogging always comes back. http://www.grossan.com/
