Expect to be tired after the test, especially if it is a sleep deprived EEG with a sleep segment where they watch how your brain waves behave as you fall asleep. I doubt it will show anything abnormal. I was having seizure activity when I was your age but the EEG did not show any evidence of seizure activity.

Don't worry. You will do fine.

My best to you.
