  Can falling asleep during an auditory evoked response or an EEG mess up the
  results of the test?  I ask, because I did.

Actually, you're supposed to fall asleep during an EEG. They are interested in critical information related to the transition from waking to sleep phase. Usually, you're supposed to stay awake during an auditory evoked response test. But if you fall asleep, the changes (if at all significant) would be different than the ones detected for MS.
I hope this helps. Hang in there. CCF MD mdf.
