Dumb question about NPO for AM labs

Don't laugh, but I really don't know the answer!

I have labs that will be drawn around 1130 this AM, it's now 8 AM. I am DYING for a cup of coffee.:rolleyes: I can't drink it black, but do have splenda. Can I have a cup of coffee w/ splenda in it?

I tried to sleep in so this wouldn't be a problem, but that obviously didn't work.

Thanks!
