The obstructive sleep apnea does not cause direct damage to the brain
enough to trigger sleep seizures, but theoretically the cause is
indirect. During sleep apnea we mentioned that the person stops
breathing due to a physical obstacle or blockage in the breathing
process. When this happens oxygen can not reach the brain and naturally
the brain can not survive without oxygen. Such regular malnourishment of the brain could cause problems and consequently result in sleep seizures.
As Apnea May Cause Seizures Also Seizures Might Cause Apnea
On the other side, people suffering from epilepsy mostly have the
problem of seizures. Abnormal brain functioning due to epilepsy can also
causes seizures during sleep. According to one research I found, one
third of epilepsy patients have sleep apnea. It acts as a double-edged
sword for the epilepsy patients. (Although this ratio or this number
does seem very high)
