Abstract

Purpose: An increased propensity for seizures is associated with different stages of the sleep-wake cycle. In this study, we prospectively analyzed patients with new-onset epilepsy and investigated the clinical correlates of the yield obtained from sleep electroencephalography (EEG) recordings in patients with a normal wakefulness EEG.
