The exact severity of sleep epilepsy and daytime epilepsy cannot be directly compared, but needs to be compared based on the form of the seizure, the frequency of the seizure, and so on.
Epilepsy is caused by highly synchronized abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain and there are many classifications. Seizures are closely related to sleep-wake cycles. Sleep-onset epilepsy usually refers to seizures that occur at night, due to decreased inhibition of the brain during sleep, causing abnormal discharges in the affected area.
The severity of epilepsy is related to the form of seizures and the frequency of seizures, etc. Seizures during the daytime and sleep epilepsy can be serious, such as generalized tonic clonic seizures are more serious, and those who have frequent seizures are prone to become status epilepticus, which is also more serious.
When you have epilepsy, you should consult a doctor in time to find out the cause of the disease and take medication regularly to effectively control the seizures and reduce the damage to your body.
