Epilepsy is more common than many realize, yet stigma and misconceptions continue to create barriers for those living with the condition and their caregivers. Jaime Simpson , founder of Embracing Echo and an established service dog trainer, emphasizes the importance of normalizing epilepsy because the more we talk about it, the easier it becomes to stay informed and supported.

Jaime shares her journey of living with epilepsy, severe allergies, and other health conditions on social media to raise awareness and help others.

This Epilepsy Awareness Month, let’s work together to break stigma by sharing your journey and challenging misconceptions! 💜

🎃 Happy Halloween from the Empatica team! 👻

Here are a few friendly reminders to help you stay safe while still joining in the fun:

💊 Don’t forget to take your medication before heading out to celebrate.
💡 Be mindful of flashing or strobe lights in haunted houses or displays if they’re a known seizure trigger. Starting activities earlier in the evening can help reduce exposure.
😴 Try to get a good night’s rest before (and after!) the festivities, as fatigue can increase seizure risk.
🧡 Stick with a friend, family member, or caregiver for added safety and support.
🍬 If you or someone you care for is on the ketogenic or Atkins diet, be mindful of treats, but remember, there are plenty of other ways to join the fun, like pumpkin carving, spooky crafts, or swapping candy for games or toys!

By taking these simple precautions, we can all help make Halloween a fun, inclusive, and safe celebration for everyone. 💜

💤 According to the Mayo Clinic, adults need 7+ hours of sleep each night, and children need even more. While sleep is essential for everyone, it’s especially important for people living with epilepsy.

The Epilepsy Foundation of America notes that sleep can significantly influence seizure frequency, timing, duration, and occurrence. Some individuals may even experience nocturnal seizures, which can lead to injury or trigger more daytime seizures. Prioritizing healthy sleep habits can help reduce seizure activity and boost overall health and well-being.

With the Diary, view a breakdown of your night’s sleep, including total sleep, effective sleep, efficiency, and tosses and turns, so you can easily identify sleep patterns and get more rest if needed.

Born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, Zach Eagling won the Teenager of Courage Award at the The Pride of Britain Awards last week 🏆

At just 8 years old, while fundraising for the Epilepsy Society, Zach was targeted by trolls who sent flashing images designed to trigger seizures. Instead of backing down, he fought back and changed the law.

Zach’s Law, now part of the Online Safety Act (2023), makes it a criminal offense to send seizure-inducing flashing images on social media. Zach continues to campaign for better accessibility for people with disabilities.

Safe to say he’s making a huge difference! 💜

🔹 High Sensitivity: Ideal for rest periods to monitor every small movement
🔹 Low Sensitivity: Optimized for light daily activity, reducing unnecessary notifications
