Hi Otto11
Thank you for your post.
Some people can have seizures in their sleep. But many people have jerks and movements during their sleep that are not epilepsy related.
Here is a link to our information on sleep seizures epilepsy.org.uk/living/heal...
You may wish to keep a diary of these events or see if you can video some of them to share with your epilepsy nurse.
If you would like to discuss this further with our helpline team, you could phone the Epilepsy Action Helpline freephone 0808 800 5050. Our helpline is open Monday to Friday 8.30am until 5.00pm and Saturday 10.00am until 4.00pmRegards
