PRE-NAP! INSTRUCTIONS

Safety is our first priority. To optimize patient safety, it's imperative that you follow these important guidelines:

1. If you are taking a GLP-1 medication, this must be discontinued 1 week prior to nap.

2. You may have a LIGHT snack 6 hours before your Nap! - this needs to be simple carbohydrates (dry toast with jam, fruit - no fats, dairy, or protein)

3. You may drink water (only water) until 4 hours before your Nap!

Failure to follow these will result in postponement of your Nap!

After your Nap!

  • You will need a driver and a responsible person to stay with you until you are feeling "normal" again. 

  • You may resume your usual activities as soon as you're feeling awake.

  • Do not make any legal decisions and do not drive for 24 hours after your Nap!

  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle and sleep habits to get the most from your Nap!
