As far as I know it is treated the same way as other forms of epilepsy. Just please be careful ad it can turn on you and you could have seizures during the day.

Hi,
Thank you for posting. Nocturnal epilepsy is a condition in wherein seizures occur at night, usually while sleeping. People who experience this condition are unaware that they are having night seizures. Involuntary movements that may occur during this time may not look much different than normal sleep movements. Other  symptoms include waking up very tired and with headaches. Like other seizure disorders, this can be treated with anticonvulsants. It is best that you check with your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
