Sleep and arousal are intrinsically linked as physiological states, with their regulation governed by shared rhythmic neuronal activity in the hypothalamus and brainstem [1], [2]. Furthermore, arousal is often defined in contrast to sleep [3], and sleep-related disorders frequently manifest through specific arousal events [4], as explored in clinical research on consciousness [5].

claimRhythmic neuronal activity in the hypothalamus and brainstem regulates sleep and arousal, and while association of this activity between these regions is important for sleep regulation, bursts of disassociated neuronal activity may contribute to nocturnal seizures.
claimThe hypothalamus and brainstem contain specific patterns of rhythmic neuronal activity that regulate sleep and arousal.
claimSleep-related epilepsy typically presents with at least two of the following features: arousals, abrupt awakenings from sleep, generalized tonic-clonic movements of the limbs, focal limb movement, facial twitching, urinary incontinence, apnea, tongue biting, and postictal confusion and lethargy.
