Ladies, for those of you that had to have a sleep study done, did you wear a bra?

I'm not a lady, but I am a sleep therapist. You certainly may sleep in your bra if that's what you want to do. The only things that will touch your skin on your torso are the electrodes (either 2 or 3, depending on how the lab does things) that will let the tech keep track of your heartbeat.

The best thing to do is to call the lab ahead of time, tell them you are most comfortable sleeping in your bra, and ask them if that will be a problem. If they won't let you, cancel that appointment and find another lab.

Thanks for the info. :thumbup: I am not looking forward to spending the night in the hospital, but is a requirement from my doc.

I just had my sleep study and i did wear a bra. They do have to go up your shirt and plug in things on your neck and around your stomach. You have so many things plugged in and on your face and up your nose, the bra staying on really didn't matter.

I had 2 sleep studies done. They aren't all that bad. I wore a sports bra.(cotton/comfy) and some cotton shorts. The techs, Im sure see all kinds of stuff while your sleeping....LOL
