What Is a Sleep Test on Love Is Blind?


It was the twist of the season. Stephen from Love Is Blind admitted that he was texting another girl while he was doing a sleep study, but some of what he said did not line up with what fans think goes on during a sleep study.

Monica discovered that Stephen was cheating on her, and she told fellow contestant Taylor that she didn’t believe about his whereabouts. “Did he do a sleep test? I don’t know. He didn’t sleep here. It’s really unbelievable,” she said while Taylor called his actions “evil.”

Stephen cheated on Monica with a girl that he was texting before his time on the show. “I did something completely stupid while being drunk at a sleep test with somebody who texted me,” he told his fiancé at the time. “You were doing it today, Stephen. And the really gross ones too.” When Monica asked to see the text messages, Stephen said that he deleted them because he didn’t want to be reminded of them. He left Monica at the end of the episode.

What Is a Sleep Test?

A sleep test is used to diagnose sleeping disorders. It’s also known as a polysomnography, and the study records your brain waves, the oxygen level in your blood, and your heart rate and breathing during sleep. It also measures eye and leg movements, according to Mayo Clinic. It could be done at a sleep center or the sleep disorders unit within the hospital. Sleep studies usually occur at night

In order to prepare for the sleep study, Mayo Clinic suggests that the patient should not consume drinks or food containing alcohol or caffeine during the afternoon and evening before a sleep study since alcohol and caffeine can change your sleep patterns.

Fans called out Stephen because he claimed he was drunk and sexting a girl. “This guy is an idiot and a horrible liar, most people know you can’t be drunk during a sleep study,” one fan wrote on Reddit. Another person wrote, “The drunk at a sleep test was crazzzyyy. Sleep tests have to be scheduled way in advance. They attach a bunch of nodes. I would think if they smelled alcohol or detected an atypical result in the monitors they would call off the test. Also you’re supposed to be sleeping, not sexting! I would also imagine if they saw you upon your phone for any length of time they would ask you to limit phone activity.”

How did Stephen respond to the cheating scandal?

After the episode aired, Stephen posted a picture of Spider-Man from Spider-Man 3 with the caption, “Me preparing to face your judgment in your now perceived villain arch [sic].” He also posted an Instagram post with the caption, “You know for a show based on context clues and meant to be about not judging a book by its cover. Its fans certainly like to take a LOT things at face value. These are all beautiful memories of mine that I would never trade for the world. Both on and off camera. Memories I will forever share with amazing people in an experience I never expected to be a part of.”

He talked to People about the lessons he learned while on the show. “Not even just from my mistake, but the experiment of Love Is Blind, it really did show me that when you take everything else away from the world and it’s just you and an individual, it does truly only take 10 days to fall in love with someone,” he says. “I can confidently say no matter what, as a cynic that I fell in love with Monica within 10 days. I fell in love with her in those pods, 100%. There’s no doubt in my mind that I did. And it was easy because of the way that the experiment was set up for us.”

He continued, “And so taking that into account, I understand now a lot of the minutiae we go through with fighting a genuine feeling just because we’re like, ‘Oh, well, we’re supposed to wait this amount of time.’ Or other people say, ‘You shouldn’t do this on the first date or shouldn’t do that within a month,’ blah, blah, blah,” he continues. “It’s like, why don’t you just do what feels good and stop worrying about everything else and just enjoy your adventure within the relationship? Either it’s going to work out or it’s not.”
