Approximately 50 to 70 million US adults suffer from sleep or wakefulness disorders, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention deems insufficient sleep a public health epidemic.1Inadequate sleep has been linked with elevated risk for a range of health issues, including heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. For people with epilepsy, sleep problems can be especially risky, possibly triggering seizures and impacting overall seizure control.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
