Sleep-onset epilepsy is generally more serious and can seriously affect the patient’s health if not treated in a timely manner. Sleep-type epilepsy is a type of epilepsy that occurs during sleep and is characterized by irregular seizures without warning. It is mostly caused by heredity, brain injury and other factors. The seizures often occur during sleep or when you are about to wake up, and are characterized by sudden convulsions, generalized spasms, panic, and fidgety movements of the hands and feet during sleep. Each sleep-type epileptic seizure can cause greater damage to brain development and nerve cells. If the disease recurs there will be irregular sleep, and in severe cases there will be abnormal behavior, dementia, and psychotic symptoms. If sleep-type epilepsy is suspected, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, and after diagnosis, you should actively treat it, and you can take carbamazepine tablets, sodium valproate and other drugs under the guidance of the physician for treatment.
