Epilepsy and Sleep: Close Connections and Reciprocal Influences

none3noEpilepsy is a neurological condition that knows no geographic, social, or racial boundaries, occurring in men and women, affecting all ages, though more frequently affecting young people in the first two decades of life and people over the age of 60 years. It has been estimated that worldwide there are at least 50 million people who have epilepsy and more than 80% of people with epilepsy live in developing countries where the condition remains largely untreated. Epilepsy and epileptic seizures affect every aspect of a patient's cognitive, social, and emotional well-being. Also sleep disorders have an adverse impact on daily living for both patients and their caregivers.mixedTinuper P.; Bisulli F.; Provini F.Tinuper P.; Bisulli F.; Provini F
