Hi Oriana,
You mentioned that you have sometimes had sz. when you go to bed and then when you wake up and that you are aware of whats going on you may not be having Noctural sz. they may be Myoclonic sz. and that's the type of sz. a person has when they first go to bed and when the first wake up in the morning. This happened to me a few yrs. ago and the sz. led into a tonic clonic sz. (grand mal). I found out that what was causing this was lack of sleep as Shez mentioned and stress. I began taking keppra and the sz. stopped and now I only have absence (petit mal) and simple partial sz. When I had my veeg, and MRI they found that I had bilateral lesions on both the right and left temporal lobe of my brain and that's what was causing my seizures. You might want to try taking vitamin B12 1000 mcg. once a day to help reduce the sz. and be sure that your neuro does a sleep study on you to make sure you don't have sleep apnea. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
