Diagnostic Yield of Sleep and Sleep Deprivation on the EEG in Epilepsy. Early beliefs and research on sleep, sleep deprivation, seizures, epilepsy, and the moonpatients with epilepsy often complain of insufficient or poor-quality nocturnal sleep; diagnostic yield of sleep deprivationas an activation maneuver on eeg; yield of sleep deprivation on the eeg in children differs from that in adults; consider oral melatonin to induce sleep in children during eeg; isolated convulsions following sleep deprivation; sleep deprivation as a trigger for seizures in people with epilepsy; sleep deprivation enhances cortical excitability, more so in people with epilepsy; summary.
