- There is a gradual increase in epilepsy risk from 'never/rarely' to 'usual/permanent' night shifts.
- Poor is significantly associated with an increased risk of epilepsy.
- Sleep duration of less than 7 hours or more than 8 hours per day is linked to higher epilepsy risk.
- Frequent insomnia and daytime sleepiness are associated with a greater risk of developing epilepsy.
- Sleep duration shows a 'U-shaped' relationship with epilepsy risk, indicating both short and long durations may be harmful.
- No significant association was found between sleep chronotype or snoring and the risk of epilepsy.
