abstract：BACKGROUND:Sleep is known to improve the yield of EEG recording in children but is often difficult to obtain. In order to evaluate the efficacy and to test the practicability of oral melatonin in obtaining sleep for EEG recording, we studied its use in 70 children. RESULTS:Sleep was obtained in 56 children (80%) with ...
