advice regarding seizures

Hi,
I have a question I was hoping I could just get some advice on. I had two grand-mal seizures this year (first time). Both were when I did not get sleep hardly at all. Both times when I was laying awake, I could hear weird intensified noises for most of the night. Now I take Xanax to help me sleep. What I wanted an opinion on is.
A. If for some chance I was to get a seizure, do you think that if I took Xanax to help me fall asleep, could it be that I would still get one but didn't happen to get the "sound aura" I get because the Xanax knocked me out basically or
B. do you think that it's the issue of not getting sleep that is causing the seizures itself.
The second one I called into work and got a couple hours of sleep in the morning (of course by that time, I already had the noises going on at night) so I don't know if it's the "not getting sleep" thats causing the noises and seizure or if i was going to get one anyway and it just happened to keep me up.
I hope this makes sense. I've just been so stressed lately and sometimes feel kind of weird and edgy so I guess I just wanted an opinion on this. My neighbor who is a Doctor's assistant says sometimes they give people Xanax in the hospital if they get a seizure so I'm more worried of what will happen if someday I can't get the Xanax anymore (so far Doctor's have been ok with it but you know how they get). Thank you!!!!!!!!

Re: advice regarding seizures

Sleep deprivation can be a seizure trigger, and while still a seizure, not epilepsy. The Xanax could have had you sleeping deeply enough that you did not hear the noises. Some people only get seizures at night- either when trying to get to sleep, or waking up, or during the middle of the night, and they wake up knowing they've had one because of how they feel.... important to get this checked out by the doc
