TLDR
Epilepsy surgery improves subjective sleep parameters in patients with medically refractory epilepsy during the early post operative period and may improve objective (PSG documented) sleep quality, sleep architecture and obstructive sleep apnea with resultant reduction in excessive daytime sleepiness.About:

Sleep and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy – Associations, Mechanisms and Treatment Implications
TL;DR: The association between temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and sleep, with bidirectional links in mechanisms and therapeutic aspects, is described, with some intriguing potential mechanisms specific to anatomic localization, linking the two.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep Disorders in Epilepsy: Current Trends and Future Perspectives
TL;DR: Screening for and treating sleep disorders may lead to improved seizure control and quality of life in PWE, andEpilepsy surgery and implanted devices to treat refractory epilepsy provide new insights into the relationship between sleep and epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Epilepsy, and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure as a Treatment Option
TL;DR: Because the coexistence of OSA and epilepsy is high, CPAP therapy can reduce the frequency of seizures, therefore, it is important to evaluate the presence of Osa in patients with epilepsy and to treat the conditions concurrently.
Dissertation
Somatic co‐morbidities in epilepsy
TL;DR: Greater epilepsy severity seems to be a risk factor; several other consistent predictors were identified and ageing and degenerative changes could improve epilepsy drug responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Relationship Between Epilepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and Treatment Outcome.
TL;DR: In this article , a complex bidirectional relationship exists between the two conditions where the presence of one affects the other, and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure may improve seizure control in medically refractory epilepsy patients.

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
TL;DR: This work aims toward a surgical cure for epilepsy - the work of Wilder Penfield and his school at the Montreal Neurologic Institute, William Feindel.

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.
