This study aimed to examine the quality of life and sleep levels of workers working on different shifts in a technology company in Vale do Itajai. There were 159 employees, that answered the World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results showed positive and significant correlations (although very weak), between daytime work, general perception of quality of life and sleep quality. The same was found between perception of quality of life and sleep quality. It was found that 67.7% of the participants do sports and that the general perception of sleep quality is significantly higher in this group, compared to those who do not work out. It is suggested that quality of sleep may be affected by working time and the number of hours slept. However, to practice sports may be an alternative to improve sleep quality and perception of quality of life.

Palabras clave : sleep; quality of life; shift work schedule; occupational health.
