Don't be embarassed about asking for anti-anxiety meds. Most of us do and it'll help you sleep through it. Some have said it's a little chilly in there so you may want to ask for a blanket.
In many ways MRI's are worse. They're solid for one and make weird and loud noises during the scan. You'll get used to it - I sleep through those too. Plus you can't watch movies. (Ask for ear plugs if you ever get one).
