I have bipolar 2 disorder so that may keep me from sleeping some nights but it's my epilepsy and seizures I get if I get no sleep. Its terrifying cause I'm driving right now so I have to be extremely careful. Anyone have seizures from lack of sleep???

I have had a breakthrough seizure in the past resulting in a motor vehicle wreck...make sure if you do not rest...you do not drive. It is not worth the risk.

I did the same thing here in vegas. Most roads here are 4 lanes with a turn lane in the middle. I had a seizure and crossed 5 lanes of traffic on a busy road, hit a cable truck, power pole and power box. It was terrible cause I lost my car after only having it two months! I was devastated! Lost license for 2 to 3 years. Now I'm back driving again but being super super careful and I haven't had a seizure in a few years and have been driving 2 years already. I'll do anything to stay off the darn bus! I wont drive if I feel unsafe.
