Permission was obtained from Hakkari University Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Committee for research permission. It was collected by 243 nurses who voluntarily participated in the study, using the online questionnaire method, sociodemographic data collection form and sleep hygiene index (SHI). The SPSS 26.0 data analysis program was used for the t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: According to the sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses participating in the study, the average of the total sleep hygiene index scores in the evaluation of sleep hygiene was 34.68; When the averages of the 4th, 9th, 10th and 11th items were examined, it was deter- mined that the results were generally "low level" and the averages of the other items were "medium". Conclusion: It was determined that the sleep hygiene index scores of the nurses were "moderate". Organising training programs for nurses to increase sleep hygiene and quality (emphasising its physiological and spiritual importance) will help improve sleep hygiene and quality.
