Sleep is an essential physiological trait and a need for the human organism. Epilepsy is a chronic disease that contributes significantly to sleep disturbance when compensated poorly. Sleep disorders, on the other hand, may be associated with a higher incidence and frequency of epileptic seizures. Differential diagnostic view of the causes of the difficulty of compensating an epilepsy patient in relation to sleep disorders in daily outpatient practice of the neurologist is presented in this article.

Keywords: epilepsy, sleep, seizure control, sleep disorder.
