• For your comfort you may bring your own pillow.
• If you plan on taking a shower upon leaving the sleep clinic in the morning, please inform your technician so that you can be placed in a sleep room to accommodate a shower. (Shampoo/Body soap, towels, and washcloths are provided. You are welcome to bring your own preferred toiletries).

• To set a healthy sleep environment, cell phones are recommended to be silenced during study. Please refrain from using your device throughout the study, as it ultimately distracts from sleeping and could interfere with the audio/video being collected. TV’s are also not allowed to be kept on all night.
