A person who cannot sleep easily is a reality. Many of us blame the lack of sleep towards a person’s own preference but there are really medical inclinations that can be traced towards why people are living that way.
Lack of sleep or sleep apnea is a serious case to ponder upon, especially if people cannot really sleep at proper times and even when they try to make up for the lost sleeping time. Add to this the fact of health problems such as epilepsy as will be shown in the video then you have a serious problem to worry about.
Finally, many people should consider that the lack of sleep may result in health problems as well. We should remember, not getting enough rest as needed by our bodies will affect various areas of the human anatomy.

An underlying cause of epilepsy, if available (a brain tumour, etc.), must be treated and given priority. However, drug treatment to control an attack/ s of epilepsy remains the same, whether the patient suffers from a case of idiopathic epilepsy or symptomatic epilepsy, where though the cause has been detected, but nevertheless, drug treatment is needed.

What an odd, and unscientific, statement. If an underlying cause of epilepsy is found and treated why do you need drug treatment? Anti-epileptic medication have side effects you know.
For example:
“Three of the patients became seizure free and the fourth patient had a greater than 95% reduction in seizure frequency following only the initiation of therapy for the sleep apnoea.”Vaughn et al., 1996 .
Would you recommend that the three who became seizure free should take medication? Why???
