Each of the major epileptic syndromes that occur in infants and children demonstrates relationships to sleep and wakefulness that are particular to that syndrome. These relationships include activation or suppression of clinical seizures during certain portions of the sleep-wake cycle, differences in symptomatology of the seizures or in seizure type, alterations in distribution or morphology of epileptiform waveforms, and changes in duration and composition of sleep stages. Knowledge of the interactions between sleep and seizures helps to increase understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying epilepsy, as well as to improve clinical diagnosis. (J Child Neurol 1989;4:84-94).
