In Germany around the 1920’s‚ a psychiatrist by the name Hans Berger‚ Created a tool that would help researchers study and measure the rhythmic electrical activity in the brain. This tool would pick up the brain waves and create an EEG or electroencephalogram. This device has played an important role in the studying of our sleeping patterns. There are two different brain waves that occur when entering sleep. There is the beta brain waves that generate fast while preparing for you slumber and then

or more serious breathing problems- apnea‚ which can ultimately result in death. The diagnosis of hyperekplexia can be confusing as some symptoms mirror those of epilepsy although research has shown that the electrical activity when measured with EEG does not show the common pattern seen with epilepsy. Doctors may find it difficult to differentiate due to the rarity of the disease; they will not have much experience of it. Hyperekplexia has been linked to mutations in the GLRA1. This was demonstrated
