Epilepsy patients are advised to maintain an adequate amount of sleep every day to reduce seizure risk. Despite the long-lasting notion that sleep deficiency may induce seizures, existing literature has not clarified the relationship between them with objective evidence. We performed a large-scale longitudinal observational ambulatory study to investigate sleep deficiency and the occurrence of seizures using wearable monitoring.
