“…In the Vascuoto et al [40] study, despite the greater perceived sleepiness of patients with MTLE and hippocampal sclerosis, they did not perform worse on cognitive tests than the control group. According to Chan et al [41], sleep in children with epilepsy enhances learning.…”

“…The undoubted limitations of the study were the subjective nature of the SSS test, the language barrier in its performance, and the fact that no alternative test was used that would confirm the obtained results. To sum up, the authors concluded that the sense of sleepiness is not a valuable factor in the case of neuropsychological research [40].…”

“…In other studies, van Schalkwijk et al [39], taking into account the significant time differences in the duration of the REM phase in TLE, assessed the memory capacity of these people in terms of the time spent in slow wave sleep and the delay in the REM phase. On the other hand, Vascouto et al [40] conducted a relatively large study considering people with diagnosed MTLE and hippocampal sclerosis. Their goal was to discover whether there was a correlation between their cognitive abilities and their feeling of sleepiness.…”

“…Vascouto et al [40] conducted their research on a group of 71 adults diagnosed with MTLE and hippocampal sclerosis. The aim was to investigate the correlation between cognitive ability and perceived sleepiness according to the Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS).On the second day of hospitalization, the patients underwent a series of cognitive tests.…”

Introduction. The analysis of sleep and its phases in the context of various pathophysiologies has attracted increasing attention from the scientific community; therfore, this review of the literature focuses on temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Objective. The aim of the review is to systematize and update the knowledge and research currently available on the interplay of sleep deprivation and seizures in TLE, with a focus on MTLE. Materials and method. The following keyword combinations were used to search the Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases: sleep disturbance in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, sleep in temporal lobe epilepsy, nocturnal temporal lobe epilepsy, temporal epilepsy sleep disturbance. After applying exclusion criteria, 23 papers were selected for the review. Brief description of the state of knowledge. The publications qualified for the review were divided into 7 categories in terms of the subject of the publication. These categories relate to characteristic brain waves, memory and its consolidation processes, heart and sleep apnea, anti-epileptic drugs, motor disorders and lateralization of the discharges. Articles that did not fit into any of the previously mentioned categories were placed in the 'Other' group. Conclusions. It is agreed that sleep is an important factor that should be taken into account when selecting the appropriate treatment and researching new AEDs. Moreover, sleep is significant to the patient›s quality of life, has a profound impact on its components, for example, physical and social functions, emotions and leisure, but may also influence the effectiveness of therapy.

Study objectives We evaluated if self-reported sleepiness was associated with neuroimaging markers of brain aging and ischemic damage in a large community-based sample. Methods Participants from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort (n=468, 62.5±8.7, 49.6%M) free of dementia, stroke, and neurological diseases, completed sleep questionnaires and polysomnography followed by MRI, three years later on average. We used linear and logistic regression models to evaluate the associations between Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores and total brain, cortical and subcortical gray matter, and white matter hyperintensities volumes, and the presence of covert brain infarcts. Results Higher sleepiness scores were associated with larger total brain, greater cortical gray matter volume, and a lower prevalence of covert brain infarcts, even when adjusting for a large array of potential confounders, including demographics, sleep profiles and disorders, organic health diseases, and proxies for daytime cognitive and physical activities. Interactions indicated that more sleepiness associated with larger cortical gray matter volume in men only and in APOE ε4 non-carriers, whereas a trend for smaller cortical gray matter volume was observed in carriers. In longitudinal analyses, those with stable excessive daytime sleepiness over time had greater cortical total brain and cortical gray matter volumes, whereas baseline sleepiness scores were not associated with subsequent atrophy or cognitive decline. Conclusion Our findings suggest that sleepiness is not necessarily a marker of poor brain health when not explained by diseases or sleep debt and disorders. Rather, sleepiness could be a marker of preserved sleep-regulatory processes and brain health in some cases.
