Perampanel effect on sleep architecture in patients with epilepsy

In the modern society, focused on performance and achievement, the importance of sleep for good health is frequently ignored. The association between lack of sleep and the manifestation of epilepsy is also neglected, and physicians treating patients with epilepsy often do not have time and the necessary context to evaluate specific sleep disorders and associated symptoms. However, the impact of sleep on epilepsy (and vice versa) is complex and multifaceted [1]. Poor sleep quality or duration can worsen seizure control; seizures and epilepsy may also worsen sleep quality, thus establishing a vicious cycle [2,3].
