About Critical Sleep of NJ
Welcome to Critical Sleep of New Jersey (CSNJ), a premier provider of Sleep Medicine in New Jersey, focused on providing innovative, exceptional and compassionate care to each of our patients. We are here to help the many people who suffer due to poor sleep, which is quite debilitating, yet often goes undiagnosed and untreated. We also recognize that accessibility is often a major barrier to treatment and we exclusively use a Tele-Medicine(video) platform to optimize accessibility and to minimize valuable, wasted travel and waiting times of the traditional, office based medical practice. We specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of sleep disorders, including Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Narcolepsy, Circadian Rhythm Disorders, REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, and Insomnia among others.
