Summary

This study looks at how breathing and waking from sleep are connected in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Researchers will measure carbon dioxide levels and breathing responses during deep sleep in 60 participants (30 with epilepsy and 30 healthy volunteers). The goal is to better understand why some people with epilepsy may stop breathing after a seizure, which could lead to sudden unexpected death (SUDEP). This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
