Abstract

Sleep and behavior disorders in 55 children with epilepsy (mean age 10 years; range 4-16 years) were compared with those in their non-epileptic siblings of the same ages and sex ratio and correlated with epilepsy-specific factors, in a study at Alberta Children's Hospital, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
