I'll be going for my sleep study on Friday and wondering if there's anything specific I should bring? I don't do good sleeping away from home.

Did any of you bring a fan? Silly question, but I literally need the nose to sleep.

Hi I just did my sleep study last night! I took my own pillow. There was a fan in my room that I could use if I wanted.

I don't think I slept much though.

I was worried that I would pull the leads out. They didn't lol. The paste left on your head washes out easily and they suggested to use dish soap instead of shampoo. It worked great.

I was also given a survey to fill out.

It wasn't too bad. I came home and had a nap lol since I didn't get much sleep there.

I figure that's how it's gonna go with me. I hate sleeping alone in odd places.

Bring some benadryl I'm not kidding take like double the dose and you'll fall right asleep

I didn't bring anything but toiletries and pajamas. They had fans, extra pillows, etc. I did not sleep very well there though.

Just found out today I have sleep apnea and need a lab study. I'm not happy about it. At. All. I barely slept with the home study how am I supposed to with all the gobblededoop they have on me.

I thought of taking benadryl but I'd want an accurate reading because I can't sleep well if my life depended on it so I want them to know that and find out why.

I didn't bring anything special, just sleep clothes, clothes to wear the next day, and toiletries. It's pretty obnoxious to fall asleep with all the stuff glued to you, but not much you can do. I agree with your thoughts on taking benadryl- I wouldn't want to skew the test results. Just try to relax, maybe bring something to read to calm you down before bed.

And just for fun, here is a pic of me with all my leads attached that I dug up the last time someone asked about the sleep study. This was a few years ago, long before I considered bariatric surgery.
