The relationship between sleep and epilepsy is known from more than a century ago. At the end of the XIXth century a temporal relationship between the onset of epileptic seizures and the wake-sleep cycle was observed. The introduction of the electroencephalogram allowed establishing the effect of sleep and sleeping deprivation on epileptiform interictal discharges and on epileptic seizures. The recognition of the variety of generalized and partial epileptic syndromes associated to sleep is important to make a correct differential diagnosis of patients presenting with motor and behavioural disturbances of sleep. This article reviews the different aspects of the relationship between epilepsy and sleep.
睡眠与癫痫之间的关系早在一个多世纪前就为人所知。19世纪末，人们观察到癫痫发作的起始与觉醒 - 睡眠周期之间存在时间上的关联。脑电图的引入使得人们能够确定睡眠和睡眠剥夺对癫痫样发作间期放电以及癫痫发作的影响。认识到与睡眠相关的各种全身性和部分性癫痫综合征，对于正确鉴别诊断出现睡眠运动和行为障碍的患者至关重要。本文综述了癫痫与睡眠关系的不同方面。
