Effect of successful epilepsy surgery on subjective and objective sleep parameters – a prospective study

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.

Effects of epilepsy treatments on sleep architecture and daytime sleepiness: An evidence‐based review of objective sleep metrics

TL;DR: A systemic literature review is performed to evaluate the effect of antiepileptic drugs and nondrug treatments for epilepsy on sleep architecture to help better understand treatment effects, especially in patients with epilepsy and sleep problems.

Sleep-related epileptic behaviors and non-REM-related parasomnias: Insights from stereo-EEG

TL;DR: The authors review and summarize the current and relevant S-EEG literature on sleep-related hypermotor epilepsies and NREM-related parasomnias, and highlights the presence of local electrophysiological dissociated states and clarifying the underlying pathophysiological substrate of such NREM sleep disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep and Epilepsy.

TL;DR: Clinicians need to be vigilant about asking about and addressing sleep complaints in patients with epilepsy, and improving sleep and optimizing seizure control can have significant positive effects on the quality of life of these patients.

Sleep and epilepsy: unfortunate bedfellows.

TL;DR: Understanding and managing seizures and related sleep disturbance is an important and treatable intervention target that could potentially improve children’s sleep, but also their learning, mood, behaviour, seizures and parental quality of life.

The Mutual Interaction Between Sleep and Epilepsy on the Neurobiological Basis and Therapy.

TL;DR: The literatures of the neurobiological basis of the interactions between sleep and epilepsy indicate that non rapid eye movement sleep and idiopathic generalized epilepsy share the same thalamocortical networks.

Obstructive sleep apnea is common in medically refractory epilepsy patients

TL;DR: In this sample, previously undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea was common, especially among men, older subjects, and those with seizures during sleep, and the impact of treating OSA on seizure frequency and daytime sleepiness in medically refractory epilepsy patients warrants further controlled study.

Subjective Sleep Disturbance in Patients with Partial Epilepsy: A Questionnaire‐based Study on Prevalence and Impact on Quality of Life

TL;DR: This study was designed to assess whether sleep disturbance is more frequent among patients with partial seizures and what impact on quality of life (QoL) sleep disturbance may have on patients withpartial seizures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of antiepileptic drugs on sleep architecture: a pilot study.

TL;DR: AEDs have differing effects on sleep structure, which can be beneficial or detrimental, and consideration of these potential effects is important in maintaining optimal sleep in patients with epilepsy.
