Migraine patients often complain of sleepiness, a problem that manifests both during and outside an attack, may impair the quality of life and can lead to potentially harmful situations. Findings from an uncontrolled study suggest that a high percentage of migraineurs experience excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). We investigated EDS in a case-control study on 100 patients with episodic migraine and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy controls and also assessed sleep quality, anxiety and depression. Although it was found that EDS was more frequent in migraineurs than in controls (14% vs. 5%; odds ratio 3.1; 95% confidence interval 1.1–8.9), the frequency was lower than previously reported. EDS correlated with migraine disability, sleep problems and anxiety. EDS in patients with migraine probably stems from the full constellation of headache-sleep-affective symptoms resulting from the complex clinical burden of the disease.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate sleep disorders and daytime drowsiness in a cohort of patients affected by anorexia nervosa (AN) and their impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Method We evaluated AN patients and healthy controls (C) by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Beck Depression Index. We also utilized the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire to assess HRQoL in both AN and C. Results: Twenty-eight out of 34 AN patients (82.3%) had a pathological PSQI score while 10/34 (29.4%) healthy subjects (p<0.0001). The overall PSQI score was significantly higher in AN than in the controls (p=0.0004). The components sleep quality (p=0.008), sleep duration (p=0.03), sleep efficiency (p=0.004), sleep disturbances (p=0.01) and daytime dysfunction (p=0.002) were higher than C. SF36 showed significantly reduced scores of standardized physical components (p=0.01) and standardized mental components (p<0.0001) in AN, while physical function (p=0.0001), physical role (p=0.0005) and general health (p<0.0001), vitality (p=0.001), social functioning (p=0.0006) emotional role (p=0.002) and mental health (p<0.0001) were significantly decreased in AN. We found a significant correlation between the PSQI score and the physical role (r=-0.35, p=0.03) and education (r=0.38, p=0.02).Conclusion We demonstrated low sleep quality lacking subjective daytime sleepiness in AN. Sleep quality correlated significantly with HRQoL (physical role) and level of education. Level of evidence: level III case-control study

Patients With Epilepsy

Epilepsy is the commonest serious chronic neurological condition, affecting 0.5% of the population in the UK. Subjective sleep disturbance and excessive daytime sleepiness are reported to be 50% more frequent in those with epilepsy than in controls. Causes are multiple. Both poor seizure control and nocturnal attacks are known to contribute to such sleep disorders. Epilepsy also increases the risk of associated sleep disorders, and additional neurological conditions, such as dementia, learning disability, and depression. These all affect sleep hygiene. Prescribed anti-epileptic drugs will further aggravate the problem. Side-effects will include drowsiness. Sedating benzodiazepines and barbiturates are considered worst offenders. Others affect sleep architecture to varying degrees and/or cause insomnia. While hyper-somnolence in patients with epilepsy will raise the possibility of any of the above issues, sleep deprivation is one of the commonest seizure triggers. This chapter will shed more light on the intricate relationship between sleep and epilepsy.

AbstractPeople with epilepsy (PWE) have an increased suicide prevalence. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for suicidal tendency among PWE in West China. A nested case–control study was designed in a cohort of patients with epilepsy (n = 2087). In total, 28 variates were calculated. In the univariate analysis, unemployment, low income, seizure frequency, seizure-free time, infectious or structural etiology, levetiracetam or phenobarbital use, anxiety, depression, and stigma were associated with suicidal tendency. A multivariate analysis indicated that unemployment (odds ratio [OR] 5.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.13–15.48), levetiracetam use (OR 2.80, 95%CI 1.11–7.05), depression (C-NDDI-E score ≥ 13; OR 3.21, 95%CI 1.26–8.21), and stigma (SSCI score ≥ 16; OR 6.67, 95%CI 1.80–24.69) were independently associated with suicidal tendency. Conditional inference tree analysis indicated that SSCI and C-NDDI-E scores could effectively identify patients with suicidal tendency. Thus, this study suggests that unemployment, levetiracetam use, depression, and stigma are independent risk factors for suicidal tendency in PWE in China.
