About Us

The Hawaii Sleep and Wellness Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Kaneohe, Hawaii. Founded by sleep medicine specialist Jamil S. Sulieman, MD, our foundation is dedicated to promoting sleep health awareness, supporting individuals living with sleep disorders, and advancing sleep medicine education and research across the Hawaiian Islands. We believe that quality sleep is fundamental to overall health and well-being, and that every person in Hawaii deserves access to accurate information and effective support for their sleep health.

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to improve the sleep health and overall wellness of Hawaii's residents through community education, patient support, and the promotion of evidence-based sleep medicine practices. We envision a Hawaii where sleep disorders are recognized, properly diagnosed, and effectively treated — and where every resident has the knowledge and resources they need to achieve restorative, healthy sleep.

The Importance of Sleep Health

Sleep disorders affect millions of Americans, yet the vast majority go undiagnosed and untreated. In Hawaii, the unique challenges of island living — including shift work, long commutes, and high rates of certain health conditions — can contribute to sleep problems. The Hawaii Sleep and Wellness Foundation is committed to raising awareness of sleep disorders and connecting Hawaii's residents with the resources they need to sleep better and live healthier lives.
