Default Best practices in preparing for SFEMG

Reading different threads & blogs, I want to see if I've processed correctly best practices to get as accurate a SFEMG reading as possible:

1. have heat running in the car while being driven to the appointment
2. dress warmly to compensate in case the testing room is not sufficiently warm
2. stay well hydrated
3. go off mestinon one week or so in advance
4. go off caffeine or chocolate or other stimulants
5. wear myself out with exercise the day before (unless already debilitated)

Is there a general consensus that these are good preparation methods? Any other suggestions on what to do or not do?

Thanks
