My epilepsy means that I must get plenty of sleep. Honestly, it really is true, that. Otherwise when I need to get up I get spasms when my half-asleep brain loses the fight to stay awake. This means that I mustn't go to bed too late. Which of course is impossible because I get insomnia. Hours and hours I can spend in bed waiting for that level of sleepiness to arrive in my brain, hoping it gets there before it gets light outside and the birds start singing.
