Internal Vibrations in Head at Night: What do I have?

Good Morning!
My last seizures occurred during my sleep at night, something completely new to me, as they used to happen during the day. Even though I had those nocturnal seizures, I can not remember them at all. My husband reported them to me. Perhaps I can not remember them, because they have evolved from partial seizures to tonic-clonic ones.
My doctor said that nocturnal seizures are something pretty common to happen in epilepsy, affecting many of us. But do please talk to your doctor about your situation and seek a medical recommendation.
Lack of sleep or lack of good sleep is a well-known trigger to seizures. I am currently having sleep problems as a side-effect of a medication. On those nights I had little sleep or bad sleep, I try to sleep during the day and also practice yoga nidra which provides me with profound sleep I am currently having very little. Having a watch that monitors my sleep has been very helpful in knowing when I need to take it easier in my day so as to avoid seizures and increase my seizure threshold.
All my best to you. I hope you can soon understand what is happening to you.

I have questions really for anyone regarding this as I was directed to this conversation. I to never had seizures in my sleep, however, in 2024 when seeing a new neurologist, I wore a take home EEG that caught this in my sleep. I had never had seizures in my sleep before, and so this was startling to me. What can cause these, when you never have had them before, I did not have them in my sleep, and my medication has not changed in 2 years, and so I am wondering, is the medication even working, if now I have them in my sleep, and are completely unaware, but do not have them at all in the waking hours. I am so puzzled by this. My doctor doesnt explain what could, or what is causing it, and I am baffled trying to make sense of this new mystery.

Thanks I do not have seizures and I do not think these are those but just curious on if anyone that had what I had going on. I slept last night with no issues, but did take Gabapentin. We shall see. I do not like medication so I am trying to stay away from that. I just have weird dreams last night so I could not fall asleep. It was odd, then I took magnesium and I fell back to sleep. So strange.
