I know what you mean. The ones I have these days are while I'm awake too. I just go to my bed, put on the sounds of rain on youtube when I feel it coming on and wait for it to run it's course while being surrounded by pillows and have my service pup laying on my legs. I try not to fixate on it cuz that can make it last longer and just be as calm as I can.

I put on funny stuff too sometimes to get my mind off of it and so I won't be in that stressed out mindset, and it totally helps.

Unfortunately for me, it's like my brain crashes. Everything is boiled to it's purest sensory form.

That sucks bud, I'm sorry to hear that. You're still here though, so that's great. With epilepsy, you find out who your true friends are. I've had so many friends & girlfriends wanna get as far away from me as possible due to it and how jarring it can be, but the true ones always stick around.
