Sleep quality and its correlates in people with epilepsy: A multicenter cross‐sectional study in Germany
Sleep quality in PWE is significantly impaired and strongly associated with anxiety, depression, and sociodemographic variables in addition to epilepsy-specific factors. Poor sleep independently correlates with diminished QoL, supporting the value of routine screening for affective symptoms and sleep disturbances in epilepsy care.
