This study included 70 patients undergoing hemodialysis (mean age 48,74+1,51 years, mean duration of dialysis 41,55+4,51 months). Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Quality of life was measured using questionnaire SF–36. Results. 41 (58,57%) patients with a global PSQI score >5 were considered as a “bad sleeper”. Poor sleep was associated with age (r 0,24, p <0,05), high BMI(r 0,27, p <0,05), low diuresis (r 0,25, p <0,05), increase interdialytic weight gain (r 0,26, p <0,05). There was relationship between the poor sleep and low scores of all scales SF–36. Conclusions. Sleep disorders are common among patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis. Poor sleep has a negative impact on quality of life.
