Sleep

Question

I've seen and read many accounts of my Devil's break dance brothers and sisters speak of sleeping 8, 9, 10, 12-hours because of meds, focal seizures, and but of course tonic-clonic seizures.

I cannot sleep more than 5-6 hours, regardless of what time I go to bed or how tired I am. My circadian rhythm won't push back or snooze its alarm clock.

The only exception being tonic-clonic, when my brain's below the E-line on my energy tank.

Who can empathize; if you had/have this problem, what are you doing about it?
