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.
