An absence seizure does not last more than twenty seconds long unless several seizures in a row take place. When it ends, a person will continue doing what they were doing before the seizure occurred as if nothing happened. They can think clearly and are wide awake afterward. There is no need for first aid after a seizure has occurred. Children who have seizures in school may miss instructions and may not be aware of what happened; therefore, they may need to be instructed again or allowed more time to finish a project.
