Sorry your sleep lab is in a hospital .hugs
This sleep lab is in a hospital, and some patients report uncomfortable bedding, lights not being low enough, and noise, but I am allowed to bring my own pillow at least. My upstairs neighbors have agreed to care for my sweet guide dog overnight, so that helps some.

There is nothing to fear or worry about. There is a TV in the room and you can look at TV before lights out. They will attach a sensor to your head and areas of your chest no pain.
