Why seizure often occurs during sleep time?

Seizures often occur during sleep due to changes in brain activity and the balance of neurotransmitters, which can be disrupted during this state. The brain's decreased responsiveness to external stimuli during sleep may also contribute to an increased likelihood of seizure activity. Additionally, certain types of epilepsy, such as nocturnal seizures, are specifically linked to sleep cycles, particularly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep when brain activity is heightened. Lack of sleep or sleep disorders can further exacerbate the risk of seizures.
