  METHODS
  A sample consisted of 398 people (173 men, 225 women), aged from 18 to 82 years (mean age - 36.3±13.2 years), who were interviewed with the Sleep Beliefs Scale (SBS). Sociodemographic variables (gender, age, residence, education), sleep habits and disorders were recorded as well.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The low public awareness on sleep hygiene rules was demonstrated. Mean number of correct answers out of 20 in SBS was 8.1±3.6.
