Sleep disturbance can well be caused by electrical discharges. Depending on location of the brain storms and how they dissipate. Sure explains wild fluctuations for me. There must be a reason it ends with -lepsy.
The ADD is a by-product of over-stimulation or under-filtering. Can you find relief by overtraining/desensitizing common triggers? Can you isolate triggers?>>My ADD, as best I can tell, is a byproduct of poor linkage between my perceptual and cognitive systems. When my ADD gets bad, it's not inattention per se, but sensory unresponsiveness. Then when I fall asleep, I get hyper-responsive- the refrigerator's hum becomes deafening, and a truck driving by becomes the end of the world. And yet, if I can make it past the first minute or two of sleep, I can have the radio on, construction going on outside, and I sleep so deeply that hardly anything will wake me.
Triggers: lack of sufficient sleep. If I haven't slept enough, I become very prone to these electrical-like disturbances of sleep initiation.
Do you have a seizure disorder of some kind, if you don't mind my asking?
