Sleep deprived EEG

Put some music on and dance away the night.

I worked night shift for many years. The best way to stay awake is to keep active. The games are a good idea, but get up and walk around regularly. I found that between about 3:00 am to 5:00am the worst time for wanting to nod off. Good luck.

Thanks-she had initially suggested we "went clubbing"! We do plan to keep active. I would be quite happy to have a walk around outside, weather permitting, as we live in a well lit, safe area but we'll see how we feel about that I think. I'll perhaps be spared the "worst" then as I shall "hand her over" at about 3am. Hats off to you HildajenniJ doing nights-don't know how you did it!
We just hope this test is successful. Obviously we don't want anything sinister to be found, just the reason why she had such a sudden seizure if possible. Hopefully it will prove nothing wrong and it will turn out to be one of those random events never to be repeated. We'll have to be on our guard, of course, in case she does have another episode-will call 999 immediately and hope they can attend promptly.

Good luck. A rather unusual challenge for you. I hope all is found to be well though.

Well-am delighted to report mission accomplished! She had a meeting nearby so walked to ours about 10pm last night. She was told she could have a nap of up to 40 mins before 2am so she lay on the bed after lunch but. . . . They have the builders in so it was too noisy-lol!
So we had a cup of tea with both DHs then hers drove home to bed and mine went to bed about 10.30.
We settled ourselves down in living room-all lights on and temperature on the low side.
She'd brought Invictus DVD which we watched while she, virtuously, wrote her Christmas cards. From time to time we paused it to have another cup of tea and kept snacking on chocolate (so naughty!). After midnight a friend texted to say she couldn't sleep and how was it going so we had all had a chat. Back to DVD-V good. Then her dear MIL rang again to see how it was going. Back to more tea, choc and DVD. The time did not drag at all. About 2.30 friend who was next to entertain her texted to say she had had her sleep and was awaiting our arrival. So we finished film, about half an hour and drove round.
Friend had baked some small cakes. So we "had another cup of tea" (was that a Bernard Cribbins song?). Nattered on. Friend's daughter rang to ask how we were getting on too as she couldn't sleep either! I drove home about 5am leaving them to decorate small cakes. About 6am friend drove her home cos, of course, she isn't allowed to drive. Her DH was still asleep and she found the next hour and a half difficult. . . .but, she did it.
DH drove her to hospital for 9am, test all done. Now await results-phew!
