Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) previously known as West syndrome needs the inclusion of epileptic spasms for diagnosis. [1] Epileptic spasms (also known as infantile spasms) may also occur outside of a syndrome (that is, in the absence of hypsarrhythmia and cognitive regression) - notably in association with severe brain disorders (e.g. lissencephaly).
Sleep training in a separate room, under 6 months is not recommended due to the SIDS reduction factors at play. A committed caregiver in the same room for all day and night sleeps reduces the risk of SIDS by 50 percent. [11] These guidelines for baby being in the same room differs from 6 months to 12 months in different countries.
The onset of LKS is typically between 18 months and 13 years, the most predominant time of emergence being between 3 and 7 years. Generally, earlier manifestation of the disease correlates with poorer language recovery, and with the appearance of night seizures that last for longer than 36 months. [ 6 ]
One of these patients was a 29-year-old woman (named patient 70) who started showing signs of developmental regression when she was 6 months old, which was then followed by a moderate-severe developmental delay. She hit the milestone of sitting at the age of 2 years old and learned how to walk at the age of 12.

Some are: Insufficient quality or quantity of night time sleep [5] Obstructive sleep apnea [6] Misalignments of the body's circadian pacemaker with the environment (e.g., jet lag, shift work, or other circadian rhythm sleep ...
A 29-year-old man’s debilitating night terrors were the first sign of rare autoimmune disorder that rapidly progressed, landing him in the intensive care unit in a “catatonic state.”
Sleep-related movements are commonly seen in children, especially infants. However, the majority of these movements stop as the child ages. Some 66% of infants of 9-months show RMD-like symptoms compared to only 8% of 4 year olds. [2]
