TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of epilepsy surgery in a subset of patients with drug-resistant TLE-HS was analyzed using three validated sleep questionnaires- Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), NIMHANS Comprehensive Sleep Disorders, and polysomnography (PSG).

Sleep Disruption Worsens Seizures: Neuroinflammation as a Potential Mechanistic Link.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the mechanisms by which sleep deprivation induces neuroinflammation and propose that neuroinflammations synergizes with seizure activity to worsen neurodegeneration in the epileptic brain.

Obstructive sleep apnea in drug-resistant epilepsy: A significant comorbidity warranting diagnosis and treatment
TL;DR: OSAS is a significant comorbidity of drug-resistant epilepsy that has the potential to yield new treatment options for better seizure control and justifies systematic questionnaire screening for OSAS and a low threshold for referral to sleep laboratory exploration.

A new method for measuring daytime sleepiness: the Epworth sleepiness scale.
TL;DR: The development and use of a new scale, the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), is described, which is a simple, self-administered questionnaire which is shown to provide a measurement of the subject's general level of daytime sleepiness.

Surgical Treatment of the Epilepsies, 2nd Ed.
TL;DR: The contributors illustrate important new approaches to the assessment of human cognition in individuals with CNS disease that nonspecific behavioral descriptors such as ”word-finding difficulty” will soon be replaced by more meaningful characterizations that are theoretically motivated and therapeutically significant.
