Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze sleep duration and sleep quality in nursing professionals who work in shifts. Method: this is a cross-sectional, analytical research, carried out between September 2017 and April 2018, at a public hospital in southern Brazil, with the nursing team.

Data are presented as descriptive and inferential statistics, bivariate analysis, and binary logistic regression. Results: participants were 308 nursing professionals with a predominance of long-term sleep, absence of drowsiness, and poor sleep quality. Short-term sleep (<6h) was associated with day shift and poor sleep quality. Sleep quality was associated with presence excessive daytime sleepiness and work day shift. Conclusion: work shift, insomnia and headache were the main factors related short-term sleep for nursing professionals.
