Sleep Study Medication Administration

​It's been a while since this question was asked....How does your institution manage medications that cannot be taken by ADULT patients prior to or after sleep study?
Provider order? Which provider?
Assessment of Patient Competence, if self administered in setting of non-clinical staff conducting sleep study?
Patient own medication identification, if not supply by the hospital?
