Abstract
In a study of 20 patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME), a characteristic circadian rhythm was confirmed, indicating a tendency to sleep later than those with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
- Patients with JME typically go to bed later at night and wake up later in the morning compared to those with TLE.
- Individuals with JME feel more alert at a later time during the day than their TLE counterparts.
- No specific personality profile was identified in patients with JME, aside from some minor subanalyses.
