    How It Feels

    You will not feel pain during these tests. It may feel odd to be hooked to the sleep study equipment. The sleep lab technician understands that your sleep may not be the same as it is at home because of the equipment. Try to relax and make yourself as comfortable as possible.

    After the test, you can shower and shampoo your hair to remove the glue from your body.
