Hi Keri, There is just something linked between sleep and seizures.
It is amazing how common the early morning wake up seizures are. I
don't have any advice for you. My son used to have morning seizures
and he doesn't anymore. I think things just changed as he grew.
Hopefully the diet will help Taylor.
