EPILEPSY AND SLEEP (LITERATURE REVIEW)

In this review, we attempted to analyze literature data on various aspects of the complex interactions between sleep and epilepsy. Normal sleep in an adult occurs in cycles that last an average of 90-100 minutes each, although infants and children are usually shorter by about 60 minutes. One cycle includes an evolution from (NREM) N1, N2 and N3 stages with progression in the depth of sleep and an increase in the amount of slow wave activity, followed by REM sleep, characterized by faster and more desynchronized activity similar to wakefulness, repeating 4-5 times per night.
