| What time is your procedure? Dulcolax at 4 PM wasn’t a good idea. |

Op here. I managed 4 hours of sleep. System was clear by 12:30!
Dulcolax at 4 was doc’s orders.procedure at 10:40 am but they have the same “day before” instructions for everyone. “Day of” instructions vary by time of procedure. Thanks all! |

| Op again. For anyone who has a colonoscopy in the future…. I took the optional 4 T of milk of magnesia two nights before. I felt so cleaned out yesterday morning! Maybe that’s why I was able to sleep last night. My system had been cleansed quite a bit the previous night. |

| I used suprep with my first does at 3pm and slept fine the night before. I had an early morning apt so had to get up at 3:30am to take the second does but slept fine from 10-3:30. According to the dr I has a very clean prep |
