Epilepsy is associated with an increased risk of sudden death. In a review of the literature, researchers found that 73% of deaths in these individuals occurred while sleeping on their stomachs. Further, in a subgroup, epileptics younger than 40 were 40 times more likely to be found on their stomach at the time of death.

Set Bedtime Good For Children's Brain
Girls ...but not boys...that did not have a set regular bedtime at age 7 had significantly lower scores for reading, math, and spatial skills on standardized tests from UC London researchers.
Non-regular bedtimes at age 3 were independently associated with lower cognitive skills at age 7 in BOTH girls and boys.
The study suggests that when sleep is restricted or disrupted symptoms symptoms that reflect a reduced capacity for plastic change in the brain.
The implication is that reduced or disrupted sleep , particularly if it occurs at key times in development, could have important impacts on health throughout life.
