[quote=Anonymous]We did this last month for DS who had just turned 8. We had to keep him up 2 hours past his bedtime and wake up up 2 hours early so he got about 5 hours of sleep. I was dreading it, but the test was pretty easy. And we actually had a nice, quiet time together starting at about 4AM playing fun games on my phone (to make his brain tired). When we got there, they had him lie down, hooked up about 3MM electrodes / wires to his head and a few to his heart. They first had him hyperventilate and then flashed strobe lights for a while. And then they let him fall asleep for 15-20 minutes. And then we went home. About 30-45 minutes in total. The worst part was that he hated having the dried gel in his hair when he got home, but a quick hair wash made him happy again. Oh, that and a breakfast sandwich from McD's....:-) And then he took a 2 hour nap. [/quote]
