Outpatients were assigned to established groups by their ordered x-ray procedure (i.e. barium enema [n = 36], upper gastrointestinal tract x-ray procedure [n = 31], or nonpreparation procedure [n = 36]). Persons who were undergoing a barium enema rated sleep significantly poorer, awakened a greater number of times during the night, and perceived greater energy expenditure during the procedure.
