Lack of sleep is a trigger for seizures, achieving healthy sleep on a nightly basis is essential for people with epilepsy. People with epilepsy also have a high incidence of sleep apnea. In fact, a University of Michigan study found that as many as one-third of epilepsy patients also have sleep apnea. Children with epilepsy have higher scores for poor quality sleep, anxiety about sleep, and disordered breathing. Another common sleep-related epilepsy seen in adolescence is Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy. There is a significant relationship between sleep deprivation and seizures in people with epilepsy.
