What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index	The Pitssburgh sleep quality index, developed by Buysse et al. in 1989, is used to evaluate the quality of sleep, the amount of sleep, the presence and severity of sleep disorders in the last month. Agargun et al. They adapted PUKI to Turkish in 1996.There are seven components in the scale. These; subjective sleep quality (component 1), sleep latency (component 2), sleep duration (component 3), habitual sleep efficiency (component 4), sleep disturbance (component 5), use of sleeping pills (component 6) and daytime dysfunction (component 3) 7) stop. The evaluation score of each item is between 0-3, and the total score obtained at the end of the evaluation is between 0-21. A total score of 5 and less than 5 defines good sleep, and a total score of more than 5 defines poor sleep	1 hours later
Quality of Life Scale in Epilepsy	The Quality of Life Scale for Patients with Epilepsy was developed by Vickrey et al. in 1993. Mollaoğlu et al. carried out the validity and reliability studies of this scale in Turkey in 2015. The scale includes 7 sub-dimensions. These sub-dimensions are; anxiety about seizures (5 items), effects of drugs (3 items), energy/fatigue (4 items), emotional well-being (5 items), cognitive function (6 items), social function (5 items), total quality of life (2 items) ) and an additional item that evaluates the total health status, a total of 31 items. Scale scoring is in the range of 0-100. High score indicates higher quality of life	1 hours later
