Abstract

Objectives: Sleep disorders are more common in patients with epilepsy than in healthy individuals. Epileptic syndromes and antiepileptic drugs can alter the structure of sleep. The aim of this study was to analyze differences in sleep patterns between patients with epilepsy and healthy individuals using subjective tests and polysomnographic evaluation.
