Core Tip	The relation of sleep and epilepsy was discovered many centuries ago. Some types of epilepsies have increased activity during sleep disturbing it; while sleep deprivation aggravates epilepsy. Both are integrating together; so that controlling epilepsy will improve the sleeping quality while consolidating sleep will ease controlling the seizures. Meticulous care of sleep pattern and quality in epileptic children has significant effects for diagnosis, efficacy of controlling seizure activity, and health-related quality of life. Adequate studying of the sleep related disorders and hormones may give a clue for new methods of better epilepsy control.
