Brief summary: After the general period of positive social adjustments, epilepsy is in a high life cycle to control seizures. During seizures in epilepsy, patients' quality of life and antiepileptic life span can be seen in daily life such as daily life and daily awakenings.

Reiki, which has been proven by studies in health problems such as fatigue and pain; an energy that can be unblocked or applied in a non-applicable way can benefit from a therapy that can be applied by touch or remotely, without negative effects.

The study will be a pretest-posttest controlled group study. Data; Patient Information Form will be collected with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale, Quality of Life in Epilepsy Scale. The control method will not interfere. If we try, first the application places and the way of doing it will be shown. Administration through 4 weeks, first consecutive week; 1 session face-to-face 30-45 minutes, then 3 sessions of 21 minutes of training, 2 sessions of 21 minutes of training in the other 3 training courses, a total of 4 weeks 10.
