Yes, you can wear a bra during a sleep study, but you also have the option to remove it.
During a sleep study, the primary concern is ensuring the sensors can properly monitor your sleep. Comfort and practicality are also considerations.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Choice is Yours: Whether to wear a bra or not is generally your preference. The sleep technicians are most interested in getting accurate data.
-
Comfort Matters: If you find wearing a bra uncomfortable, especially while sleeping, removing it might improve your sleep quality during the study.
-
Practical Considerations: The technicians may need to adjust wires attached to your chest.
-
Other Clothing: While bras are optional, wearing pants or shorts is highly recommended. Technicians might need to adjust leg wires during the night, and wearing bottoms helps maintain your privacy.
In summary, wearing a bra during a sleep study is permissible, but consider your comfort and the potential need for technicians to access your chest area for sensor adjustments. Wearing bottoms is recommended.
