SonofV's epilepsy had become merely a historical fact for a couple years. That's the timeframe the doctors set for seizure free activity in order to consider stopping his medication. He went off the medications according to the doctor's instructions. Another couple years passed with no seizures. Then, another seizure about a year ago. Back on the medicine and during the followup, the only definite causal factor in his situation was fatigue. Getting a teenager to bed early (and up early) is not an easy thing, but it was "doctor's orders". He had a couple more seizures (but none recently) and every time he'd stayed up late the night before. It's a strong correlation.

I'm no doctor. I am not a doctor. But, lack of sleep does increase the risk of seizures in my experience. I hope you take good care of yourself. You're the person in the best position to get you to bed at a good time. Perhaps you can enlist Mr Clod in enforcing bedtime?
