Preparing For Your Sleep Study

The following preparations should be made just before your overnight stay:

• Shower and shampoo your hair
• Avoid using anything on your hair after it has been cleaned and dried (i.e., gel, cream, hair spray)
• Do not wear makeup or jewelry
• Do not use creams or lotions on your face or body
• Do not wear acrylic nails or hair braids/weaves that can affect sensor placement
• Pack your sleepwear (which is required) and toiletries
• Bring your reading glasses, if applicable, for use in completing paperwork
• If you prefer, bring your favorite pillow and blanket — and any reading material or other items that can help you pass the time before bedtime
