Read our Epilepsy research guide →This study investigates how sleep and rehearsal (practicing information) help form lasting memories in people with epilepsy. Researchers will ask you to learn and remember simple associations between objects and places, then test your memory at different times—both after a full day awake and after a night of sleep. The goal is to understand whether sleep, practice, or both together help memory work better in epilepsy.
People with epilepsy, especially those with temporal lobe epilepsy, often experience memory difficulties. This research aims to discover whether practicing information or getting good sleep—or both together—can help overcome these memory challenges, which could lead to better strategies to support memory in the future.

You will perform a simple memory task twice during your hospital stay. Each time, you'll learn to match objects with locations, have your memory tested right away, then tested again after either a full day awake or after sleeping overnight. The order will be balanced so some participants do the wake condition first and others do the sleep condition first. The whole study is designed to fit around your regular hospital care and monitoring.
