On the day of your sleep study:

• Try not to take a nap;

• Eat dinner

Bring the following items with you to the Sleep Center:

• Your medication list, and any medications you normally take at bedtime;
• Pajamas or comfortable sleeping attire (preferably two-piece);
• Personal toiletries;
• Your pillow, a book or other reading material (if you wish)
