The sample is made up of 37 professionals, of which 20 were male, 23 were individuals trained in Physical Education, living in the municipality of Venâncio Aires-RS. To evaluate the lifestyle, the Pentacle of Well Being questionnaire was applied and sleep quality was evaluated through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). It was found that the mean hours of sleep of the evaluated group is below that considered normal for adults. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index reached 72% as "Good." Regarding the general aspects of the lifestyle, nutrition was the only component that presented regular classification, with 54%. Stress Control did not present a great difference for both classifications, but still the positive result was 51%. The remainder of the components were positively rated between 72% and 81% of the results. We conclude that even with the number of hours of sleep below that considered normal for adults, the group has a good quality of sleep. Individuals' lifestyles are positive, but components related to nutrition and stress have negative scores.
