The Kazmir Center for Sleep Disorders

Preparing For Your Visit

Please arrive at Saint Barnabas Medical Center's Admitting Office area 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment. You will be directed to the Sleep Disorders Center.

In order for your appointment to proceed smoothly, it is important that you follow the guidelines below:

• Bring comfortable cotton sleepwear.
• Shower and shampoo your hair before coming to the hospital.
• Do not apply any hair spray or body lotion on the day of your study.
• Have a sensible dinner prior to arrival.
• Do not drink coffee, alcohol or caffeinated drinks during the day you are scheduled for your test.
• You may bring your own pillow to sleep on during the study.
• You may bring reading material.
• You will need to bring any medication that you usually take at night or first thing in the morning.
• Should you develop an acute illness or upper respiratory infection just prior to your scheduled appointment, please call to see if your study should be rescheduled.

Parking

For those having an overnight sleep study, free parking is available in the Discharge Lot adjacent to the Medical Center.

Cancellations

As a courtesy to our other patients, we ask that if you should need to cancel your appointment, you please give us 24 hours notice and 48 hours notice for a weekend study. By doing so, you allow us to adjust our schedule and contact another patient who is waiting for a spot to become available.

Insurance

Please check with your insurance carrier for details regarding your specific insurance coverage so that you have that information at the time of your visit.

Remember, all patients need a written referral and/or prescription from their physician in order to schedule an appointment.

Special Assistance

Patients who need special assistance, including wheelchairs, should let us know when they make their appointments, so that such arrangements can be made.
