Background: The widespread childhood neurological condition epilepsy generates sleep disturbances that
negatively affect quality of life (QOL). The relationship between sleep patterns and QOL in epileptic children
needs more research despite its recognized significance.
Methods: The research examined 51 children between 4 and 11 years old with epilepsy through a crosssectional study. The study used the Children's Sleep Health Questionnaire (CSHQ) to measure sleep behaviors
and assessed quality of life (QOL) through the QOLCE-55.
Results: The CHSQ scores averaged 15.5 ± 5.7 while QOL scores measured 70.17 ± 12. QOL showed a
negative correlation with sleep disturbances at -0.858 with p < 0.001 significance. Sleep behavior problems
created the largest impact on all four QOL domains. Regression analysis results proved QOL functions as a
substantial predictor for CHSQ (β = -0.85, p < 0.001).
