AB Generalized  tonic–clonic  seizures  (GTCS)  or  "grand-mal  seizures"  are  easily  recognizable  and  their  selective  occurrence  during  early  morning  in  some  patients  has  been  identified  for  many  years  (Gowers,  1885).  Epilepsy  with  GTCS  on  awakening  (EGTCSA)  was  identified  early  as  part  of  idiopathic  generalized  epilepsy  (Janz,  1953),1  and  abundant  literature  is  available  for  review  (Wolf,  2002).  In  contrast,  little  attention  has  been  dedicated  to  the  epilepsies  with  GTCS  occurring  during  sleep  or  at  random.
