Figure 1 The vicious loop of sleep-related epileptic discharges and microarousals.

Notes: Interictal epileptic discharges may act as an internal trigger increasing the frequency of microarousals, which in turn favors the occurrence of motor events (epileptic or not). Sleep instability may have a negative impact on daytime functioning. Modified from Gibbs SA, Proserpio P, Terzaghi M, et al.
