I am not aware of any studies, just offering my humble opinion.  By the way, thanks for the Gelb report and for keeping our feet to the fire.  You offer more information than all other polygraph related sites pro and con combined.

I have seen no evidence that lack of sleep is in any way effective as a polygraph countermeasure, and it is certainly not recommended in The Lie Behind the Lie Detector.

The key to passing a polygraph "test" is to exhibit stronger physiological responses to the "control" questions than to the relevant questions. While application of antiperspirant to the fingertips may reduce sweating, it cannot be expected to differentially affect reactions to "control" vs. relevant questions.

For suggestions on how to pass a polygraph examination, see Chapters 3 & 4 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector.

Really?  Does perspiration alter polygraph results?  What do you think George.  I've seen some posts about this.  Are there any links to comprehensive studies George?  Geez, I'm about the sweatiest guy on this planet.  Small wonder I failed.

Falied my first polygraph and as the examiner presented the results to me, he specified that the electrodermal gave it away on one of the quesitons. Now obviously i will be asked more specifc questions with the re-test on what i screwed up with. Will some antipersperant help reduce the same problem? i was not asked to wash my hands the first time. i WILL NOT depend on this method entirely and of course refer to the Lie Behind the Lie Detector inside and out. Will the unsceneted D/O help keep those levels down without blocking the sensors entirely? How bout anything else that could reduce sweat temporarily. I hear that having nearly no rest the night before will result in ur body being drained and present less significant signs or reponses. help help help. i WANT this job!
