A member asked:
How do you stop from falling asleep during a ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mental: The best way is to get a good night's sleep prior to testing. Ct scans are not long tests even if you are getting your entire body scanned. So mentally stimulating activities like thinking of songs/lists/etc can be helpful but make sure you are not taking medications making you sleepy beforehand and also getting a good night's sleep.
