Lots of people can sleep with their eyes open.  It's not a medical problem or anything.

Seizures are caused by irregular patterns of over electrical stimulation of neurons in one part of the brain that then radiate through other neurons across multiple parts of the brain. The sensation of an aura is caused at the beginning of this stimulation and then rapidly a seizure will onset.

its your muscles doing a final relax before u go to sleep - usually because you arent properly asleep then they are still `on call` for any reactions !  Hence twitching in your sleep , like your falling off a cliff or something , it doesnt happen when your fully asleep.

sure. you can experience convulsions without having seizures. not all epileptic seizures are convulsive ones. some are so small that you might not even know. trust me

My dad had a seizure in his sleep. It was probably the scariest thing ever. Seizures can come from just about anything. About 80% of people will have one seizure in their life, then never have one again! Weird, I know lol. Depending on the doctor, if it's a neurologist it's ok for them to be talking about a seizure, but most of the time the doctor is wrong.\n\nJust start getting more sleep (8 hours) and hopefully everything will turn out Ok.

Gave blood.  I knew if I got up that I would faint but the nurse made me move to another seat.  I made it to the seat but then I took a nap.  That's what I call it.  When I was coming back, my eyes saw light and shadows of people but everything was wayyyy blurry.  The voice in my head told me to wake up because I knew that I had passed out but for about 8 seconds I couldn't move nor get my eyes to focus.  It's wierd.  You know what's happend to you but you can't react to stimulus.  I kinda miss it.

They are two different things.  HOWEVER... some seizures may look like tremors, so if you are having petit mal seizures and think they are tremors, a grand mal seizure may eventually happen.\n\nFind a neurologist to evaluate the tremor.  It may be early Parkinsons, which can be treated with medication.  Some severe essential tremors (they're just there, we don't know what is causing it) can be treated surgically.\n\nIf you are, in fact, having seizures, those need to be treated with medication.\n\nGood luck

A guy I dated briefly in college. He had epilepsy, and the weird thing is that he twitched in his sleep sometimes, but I'd never seen him have a seizure while awake or sleeping. But when he was still, he was beautiful in his sleep, almost angelic.

You should see a doctor.  This could be narcolepsy or another significant neurological problem.

On a number of occasions, I have been in a dream that was so illogical that I figured out that I was dreaming and "woke up." However, I later realized that I has only dreamed I was waking up and I was really still asleep. This is really confusing when you wake up again! But the stuff in the dream never occurred. In fact, just about all the dreams I remember could not possibly happen.

have you had EEGs done?  How about a sleep study?  I need more info in order to answer that.  Blood sugar could be low.  Blood pressure either high or low.  How old are you?  Could be seizures or narcolepsy..... the only way to explain them without seeing any more info is to just go ask your doctor.

I've had epilepsy since age 7, when I had a brain abcess.  I never know when I'm actually having a seizure, but I feel strange afterwards.  You may have had them at night, when you weren't aware of them, or others may just not have been around, and you didn't have a grand mal seizure, so you didn't lose complete control.  I often have seizures, and the only way I know I've had one is I feel a little strange, and maybe a little out of it, and my husband confirms that I just had one, or tells me about it even if I didn't realize it.\n\nOne way I notice I may have had one is if, for example, I'm sitting at the computer, and I sort of "come to myself," realizing that I don't remember what I was just doing, and I have real trouble concentrating for a few minutes afterwards.

What could be happening is, the settings are too low. It's possible that every time you have one of these dreams you're having an apnea episode. This could possibly be dangerous. \nYou should talk to your doctor

you've strained your eye muscles. what have you been looking at? this can also happen during r.e.m. sleep if your dreaming really hard and your eyes are going crazy. watch someone sleep they eyes move around slightly under the lids yours may have went crazy and starting spinning.

A high dose can cause a seizure. Even in low doses it will cause lack of sleep which can also cause seizures. I wouldn't bother.\n\nhttp://www.epilepsy.org.uk/info/sportsandleisure/alcohol.html

When I read your question a light bulb went off!  I am a pharmacy student and we talked about a very similar condition in class this week.  It sounds like you have "sleep paralysis" with "hypnogogic hallucinations."  In English: you have an abnormal sleep-wake cycle.  There are normal cycles when you are sleeping that you are physically paralyzed.  Rarely some people can mentally become awake at these times, but their bodies don't respond.  The hypnogogic hallucinations are similar to the paralysis.  They often present as feeling like you can't move and there is someone else in the room who wants to harm you.  They are often very scary and threatening.\n\nAs one of the other posters mentioned, these experiences usually happen when the person is fatigued during the day.  \n\nBoth sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucinations are common in people with narcolepsy.  Narcolepsy isn't always what you see in the movies where someone just falls asleep standing up.  The disorder is usually attacks of sudden weakness during the day and disturbed nighttime sleep.\n\nI am not ready to diagnose you with narcolepsy, but I do think what you are experiencing would be worth seeing a doctor over.
