Question
How long should epileptic children maintain deep sleep for?
Answer
Epileptic children should aim for at least 8 to 16 hours of adequate sleep to reduce the risk of seizures. Overexertion may lead to lactic acid accumulation in the body, making the blood acidic and potentially triggering seizures. Adults are recommended to get at least 7 to 9 hours of deep sleep daily, while children require at least 8 to 16 hours.
