Abstract

Sleep disorders are disorders that include all types of sleep dysfunction, including sleep disorders at night, poor sleep quality, early morning awakening, circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias, sleep movement disorders, and sleep breathing disorders. This study was conducted at the Haji Adam Malik Central General Hospital in Medan. Sampling was carried out using a saturated sampling technique of 49 people. Based on the results of the analysis, it showed that there was no effect of age on sleep disorders in children with epilepsy, there was no effect of gender on sleep disorders in children with epilepsy, and there was no effect of seizure type on sleep disorders in children with epilepsy. The conclusion of this study is that age, gender, and type of seizure do not have a significant effect on sleep disorders in children with epilepsy. This study is a reference for health workers that age, gender, and type of seizure do not affect sleep disorders so that different treatments do not need to be carried out.
