Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affecting millions of people worldwide. Sleep plays a crucial role in the regulation of brain activity and overall well-being, making it an important factor to consider in individuals with epilepsy. The interaction between epilepsy and sleep is complex, with sleep affecting seizure activity, and seizures in turn disrupting sleep patterns. This article explores the relationship between epilepsy and sleep, the consequences of sleep disturbances in epilepsy, and various management strategies to optimize sleep quality and seizure control.
