There are sleep studies and there are sleep studies...
Hi Matt,
Not all sleep studies are created equal. I've seen quite significant ranges in #s of electrodes (6-24+), channels, and kinds of data collected.
I've recently read about one called a 'seizure sleep study'—which criteria may vary as well—that may help you focus/narrow your search (or give you a term to ask about/look into).
FWIW, I occasionally get similar symptoms (jerking awake, nausea/sick feeling) when I'm really exhausted or my brain chemistry is otherwise 'off'. I am not epileptic nor ever had a seizure—I just chalked the incidents/symptoms up to the exhaustion & (guessing) melatonin imbalance.
Doc
