Nocturnal Seizures

Tomorrow, August 21, 2017, there will be a solar eclipse visible in the United States. It will be very exciting! A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is in line with the Earth and sun and casts a shadow over the Earth. There are four types: total, partial, annular, and hybrid (combination between annular and total). Each has its own characteristics depending on the position of the moon in relation to the sun and Earth.  Because of the upcoming solar eclipse, I have been thinking about nocturnal seizures.
