On the day of your study, it’s important to try to follow regular habits as much as possible. This can help prevent your sleep schedule from being thrown off and invalidate results. However, there are several things you can do to better prepare yourself for an at-home sleep study. Dr Doneskey recommends:
Keep away from caffeine after noon
Eat a full, well-balanced dinner
Avoid napping on the day of your test
Eliminate distractions in the bedroom
Try to wind down several hours before going to bed
