Due to suspected gastroparesis, i am having a smartpill test which begins in the morning. however, my schedule requires me to be up all night and sleep in the day. will the test be accurate if i sleep during the day after ingesting the capsule?

Yes, your gut is still active during sleep. However, if you have concern you can change the time of ingestion to your active hours which is night time in your case and you just have to activate the recorder at the same time.
