Improving Sleep in Epilepsy: Key Insights for Better Care

Research Summary

A recent study published in Epilepsia reveals that nearly half of people with epilepsy in Germany experience poor sleep quality, surpassing rates in the general population. Key findings highlight that poor sleep is closely linked with anxiety, depression, and certain sociodemographic factors like female sex and unemployment. Additionally, frequent seizures worsen sleep quality. These sleep disturbances significantly impact the quality of life for those with epilepsy. The study underscores the importance of routine screening for sleep and affective issues in epilepsy care, suggesting that addressing these problems could enhance overall well-being for people managing epilepsy.
