Sleep improvement medications such as oral eszopiclone and zopiclone can be taken when you can’t sleep with epilepsy.
Epileptic patients with poor sleep at night can easily induce seizures, so they should ensure good sleep. If the patient’s insomnia is mainly manifested as difficulty in falling asleep, dexzopiclone treatment can be used to improve sleep; if it is the case of shorter maintenance time, early awakening, etc., eszopiclone can be used to improve sleep treatment.
Epilepsy patients also need to pay attention to the regulation of life, do not drink strong tea, coffee, etc. before going to sleep at night, and do not drink carbonated beverages. Adjust your emotions and avoid mood swings, etc. Maintain a good diet and proper exercise habits, regular routine, can help improve sleep and reduce the number of seizures.
People with epilepsy should not use drugs to treat insomnia arbitrarily, and it is recommended to use them under the guidance of a doctor.
