I didn’t know that seizures could be caused by fatigue.

I neither. But I know they can be caused by alcohol withdrawal.

Fatigue is one of the major triggers for seizures. It is one way that they determine if you have a seizure disorder. They put you through a sleep deprived EEG.

It is no secret that lack of sleep can cause seizures. Because of this, it’s important to study the effects of sleep deprivation and according to Nathan Fountain, M.D., there is nothing better than using a sleep-deprived EEG.
