@santosha no I have not been given any instructions regarding not sleeping. But I will ask the neurologist about this. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s very enlightening. I am not on medication as of yet. But I have experienced these episodes about three times these past few weeks.

Hi Annie,
Definitely check with your doctor about that.
Sleep deprivation can increase the chance of recording "epilepsy waves" during the test, as it's one of the most common seizure triggers. This practice helps enhance the diagnostic value of the EEG and may avoid more complex EEG tests.

May your EEG be an enlightening test!
