Try to get a good night's sleep. Do not schedule yourself for an appointment at the end of an especially hard day or hard week.
If your appointment is in the morning, try to get some breakfast. If it is in the afternoon, be sure to have lunch. Be sure to take your medication the way it is prescribed. If you are a coffee drinker, you don't need to skip it. Nervousness will not affect your test at all.
When you arrive we will talk about how to make the polygraph fair, and we will discuss for the better part of an hour the questions that should be asked. You will get to hear every word of your polygraph questions before they are asked during the actual examination. It is important that you clearly understand the questions and you have already agreed to answer them yes or no before the examination begins.
