Background: Patients with brief, complex partial seizures frequently suffer from tiredness and decreased productivity that continue well beyond the postictal period. A possible explanation is that seizures, even when occurring during the day, disrupt sleep the following night.Objective: To determine the effect of temporal lobe complex partial seizures on sleep structure and daytime drowsiness.Methods: Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were admitted for video-electroencephalography monitoring. All night polysomnography was recorded under the following 3 conditions: seizure free, seizure during the day before the recording, and seizure during the recording. Percentage of time in each sleep stage, sleep efficiency, and time to first and second rapid eye movement (REM) period were compared for seizure vs control conditions. Daytime drowsiness was also measured, using a modified maintenance of wakefulness test and 2 subjective drowsiness tests.Results: Daytime seizures reduced REM from 18% +/- 1% to 12% +/- 2% (P = .003). Night seizures reduced REM from 16% +/- 1% to 6.8% +/- 2% (P
