There is a relationship between sleep apnea/sleep depravation and epilepsy, with CPAP treatment reducing or eliminating seizures.
I have a couple studies on file (Thanks to Carolyn) that I would be happy to pass along if you like. Can't post them because of copyright laws.
You might want to discuss this with your sleep doc, and neurologist. Make sure they are knowledgable in the sleep side of things.
