Welcome to the Reggie White Sleep Disorders Research and Education
Foundation. Located in West Allis, Wisconsin,
we are dedicated to keeping alive the memory of a wonderful man and football
superstar through providing education and research that allows all people to
learn about sleep disorders and to access healthcare services, regardless of
their socio economic status.
Millions of Americans suffer from sleep disorders, but most don’t understand
what is interrupting their sleep, and many are unable to get the diagnosis and
treatment they need that can help them improve their health and even save their
lives!

Sleep apnea is a potentially life-threatening disorder characterized by:
- Loud snoring
- Pauses in breathing
- Choking and gasping during sleep
- Excessive daytime sleepiness.
It is found most often in middle age men, often those who are overweight or
who have excess tissue in the neck area, but it also affects women and children.
Women are more likely to develop sleep apnea post-menopause.
