DO'S
- Wash hair the night before the test.
- Bring a complete list of all medications you take at home.
- Stay up late the night before the test and get up early. No more than 5 hours of sleep. You need to be drowsy for the test.

DON'TS

We will be using a special gel for your hair during the test. This gel helps us get a better EEG tracing. This gel can be brushed out after the test. You may want to go home to shampoo afterwards. Please plan accordingly.
