Children and adolescents with epilepsy (CAWE) are at a greater risk of disturbed sleep compared to children and adolescents without epilepsy (for a review see [45]). CAWE are also at an increased risk of functional difficulties, in the domains of cognition [33], academic performance [19], behaviour and mood [31,32], adaptive skills [40], and quality of life [34]. These sleep disturbances as well as functional difficulties experienced by CAWE are often attributed to similar factors, such as seizures, anti-seizure medication and the underlying neuropathology of epilepsy [25].
