Description
Seung Won Lee and co-authors follow sleep disorder risk after epilepsy in 2026 using Korean national health data. More than twenty-four hundred people with new epilepsy were matched to ten times as many peers. All were tracked for up to ten years for a first sleep disorder diagnosis. Risk was split by time since diagnosis, age, sex, and smoking history.
Fifteen percent of patients developed a sleep disorder, against about eight percent of peers. Risk ran highest in the first two years after diagnosis, at roughly two and a half times the peer rate. Younger patients, men, and former smokers carried higher risk. Early sleep screening after epilepsy diagnosis is the clear takeaway.
