Sumario:Objective: to verify the sleep habits and daytime sleepiness in students entering the Physical Education course of a university in the city of Florianópolis-SC. Materials and methods: The sample consisted of 107 undergraduate students enrolled in higher education in 2014 and the first semester of 2015, in the undergraduate and graduate courses in Physical Education of a public university in the city of Florianópolis-SC. Sociodemographic issues and questions related to sleep (sleep duration and waking and sleeping times on days with and without class) and daytime sleepiness were collected. The investigation of daytime drowsiness was performed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and for the siesta habit was the question "Do you have a siesta habit?". For data analysis, the descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution) and inferential statistics were used. Results: It was verified that more than half of the subjects in the sample (57.5%) had a habit of performing the siesta. In addition, the subjects of the morning shift had a longer average of the same, compared to the subjects of the night shift (p = 0.012). In relation to sleep duration, the students who entered the night shift had a higher sleep time from second to fifth compared to the students on the morning shift (p <0.001). Conclusion: It was concluded that the incoming students of the morning period suffer more from sleep Sleep deprivation than the night-time attending academics.
