Updated
Abstract
Eighty-seven percent of patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy reported sleeping after seizures, compared to 59% of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
- A significant portion of patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) experiences post-seizure sleep.
- Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) also report post-seizure sleep, but at a lower rate.
- Only 19% of JME patients felt better before 10:00 AM, compared to 46% of TLE patients.
- No distinct circadian profile was identified between JME and TLE patients.
- Most JME patients do not report feeling in better shape early in the day.
