Study background: Complaints of sleep disturbance are frequently encountered in patients with epilepsy, as are subjective memory complaints. Since the former may contribute to the latter, identification of sleep disturbance may contribute to diagnosis and treatment of subjective memory complaints in patients with epilepsy. Methods: Jenkins Sleep Scale (JSS), a validated sleep scale, was administered to consecutive new patients attending a dedicated epilepsy outpatient clinic based in a regional neuroscience centre, along with the five-point subjective memory complaint (SMC) Likert scale and a two-item mood screener. Results: Sleep disturbance identified using JSS was more frequent in patients with subjective memory complaint, as was mood disturbance (both p<0.02). Conclusion: Identifying sleep disturbance using a simple sleep screening scale may contribute to both diagnosis and treatment of subjective memory complaints in patients with epilepsy.

“…It may therefore be sensible to screen for sleep and mood disturbance, along with measures of metamemory, in patients with epilepsy. Sleep disturbance and subjective sleep complaints are recognised to be frequent in patients with epilepsy [13][14][15][16] and may impact quality of life more than seizure control in the short term [17].…”

Objectives: The social stigma associated with epilepsy can be a major cause of concealment of illness. This behavior is associated with many neuropsychiatric disorders. Sleep is an important factor affecting epilepsy and seizures. The aim of this study was to evaluate concealment of illness, sleep disorders, and related factors in epilepsy. Methods: A total of 95 primary epilepsy patients who were referred to the neurology outpatient clinic were included in the study. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded. Concealment of illness was measured using a scale consisting of 17 questions, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), consisting of 24 questions, was also administered to assess sleep disorders. Results: There were 44 (46.3%) female and 51 (53.7%) male epilepsy patients in the study. The mean concealment score was 57.09±8.96 and the mean PSQI score was 8.12±3.09. Sleep latency was significantly prolonged, and sleep efficiency and daytime functions were impaired. Indications of a sleep disorder were greater in young people (p<0.05; r=0.50). There was a negative correlation between age and concealment of illness (p<0.05; r=0.65) and a positive correlation between concealment of illness and a sleep disorder (p<0.05; r=0.54). Conclusion: The concealment of illness had a negative effects on sleep quality in patients with epilepsy. Concealment and sleep disorders increased as age decreased; therefore, it is especially important to evaluate young epilepsy patients carefully.

“…3 A study stated that sleep can be a potent activator of seizure. 4 The quality of sleep is affected by the presence and frequency of seizures, type of antiepileptic therapy utilized, and coexisting primary sleep disorders. 5 A recent research shows sleep disturbances that occurred in epileptic children may be caused by the effect of drugs used to treat epilepsy itself.…”

Background: Epilepsy and sleep are well recognized for having bidirectional influences upon one another. The effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) on sleep are of particular concern. Objective: The objective of this study is to know the profile of AEDs effect in patient's sleep cycle. Methods: This analytical observational study observed total sleep time, sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, daytime sleepiness, and insomnia in epileptic patient with AEDs of Neurology Clinic Airlangga University Hospital during May-September 2016. A cross sectional study was done by questionnaire and interview directly to the epileptic patients. Data collected was being analyzed analytically. Results: This research was conducted among 27 patients with epilepsy based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sleep disturbances that had been found in patients with phenytoin are prolong sleep onset latency (11.11%), decreased sleep efficiency (11.11%), and excessive daytime sleepiness (66.67%). Sleep disturbances that had been found in patients with valproate are decreased total sleep time (33.33%), prolong sleep onset latency (11.11%), decreased sleep efficiency (11.11%), excessive daytime sleepiness (66.67%), and insomnia (11.11%). Sleep disturbances that had been found in patients with carbamazepine are decreased total sleep time (44.44%), prolong sleep onset latency (33.33%), decreased sleep efficiency (22.22%), excessive daytime sleepiness (77.78%), and insomnia (11.11%). Conclusion: In conclusion, this study shows that epileptic patients who consumed AEDs regularly may have sleep disturbance that vary based on the type of AEDs, patients with carbamazepine may have bigger sleep disturbance than with phenytoin and valproate. It is necessary to give information and education to the epileptic patients who consumed AEDs regularly so that they will become aware of the sign of sleep disturbance.
