Introduction: Individuals with spinal cord injury present many alterations in their lives. The sleep of these people has few studies. Objective: It was to observe the prevalence of sleep disorders and the sleep features of individuals with complete spinal cord injury. Method: 28 participants answered a sleep disorder questionnaire, 14 with spinal cord injury (Study Group, SG) and 14 without (Control Group, CG). A sleep log was completed for 56 days. The variables were analyzed using the Chi Square and t-Student tests. Results: Two individuals of SG (14%) presented insufficient sleep, one individual (8%) delayed sleep phase, one individual (8%) presented restless leg movement syndrome and two individuals (14%) presented periodic limb movement. These results were not different when compared to the CG. The SG presented total sleep time+nap 62 minutes more, rest 171,59 minutes more, and time in bed 85,36 minutes more than CG. Conclusion: Individuals with spinal cord injury present more total sleep time, rest and naps. However there is no difference in both groups about sleep disorders.
