Wouldn’t you be basically guaranteed to sleep poorly?
I know just being in a hotel I wake up and flop around all night. Being observed and tested seems telling me that would just make it worse.

So I’m a registered sleep tech. Since it says ELI5, I will try to explain it like I would to a kiddo in my lab.
We know that not everyone will sleep super great, it’s just realistic to understand that. But depending on why we are seeing you, even 4-5 tossing and turning hours of sleep will show us something. We try to help with noise levels and comfort levels and temperature. True we can only do so much, but I definitely see more sleep than wake people. Yes you’re hooked up to a lot but once your body shuts down to sleep it is more likely that you’ll not notice them.
Truthfully there are people who just can’t sleep. It happens rarely, but it does happen. Sometimes doctors will provide a single dose of a sleep aid like ambien for the night of the study. Since it’s a single dose, it won’t really change your sleep chemistry, just help you stay asleep.
