Abstract

The interactions between sleep and epilepsy are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of both conditions. Sleep disturbances can exert an adverse impact on epilepsy management, while inadequate epilepsy control can disrupt patients' sleep quality. In addition to poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness, patients with epilepsy also encounter other sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, parasomnias, and bruxism. In this article, we provide an updated review of the bidirectional relationship between sleep and epilepsy, also exploring the key sleep disorders and their corresponding links with epileptic disease.
