Hi,
My daughter was diagnosed with absence seizures 4 years ago / and in the past 4 weeks she’s had 2 TC seizures. She suffers with insomnia and tells me that the only thing that helps her to falls asleep is listening to ASMR. I’m trying to understand if by listening to Asmr is a positive or negative? Does anyone know? I’ve googled it and the things I’ve read are saying negative! I have talked to my daughter about it but she gets so upset and won’t listen to what I’m trying to tell her - ie that it’s not actually letting her brain rest even though she’s asleep. But..Apparently it’s the only thing that helps!!
I think the lamotrogine that she takes is a cause of the insomnia- so I plan to mention it to her doctor.
I’m trying everything- getting her off screens 1 hour before. Black out blinds. She also suffers with urine infections that can trigger a seizure of her temp spikes.
Does anyone use a weighted blanked for their teenager or for themselves? If so, what are your thoughts on them? Good? Or Bad?
Thank you xx
