The Burnout Syndrome and bad sleep quality have been on the increase among nursing technicians. Current analysis, comprising 47 night shift nursing technicians, assesses the prevalence of the Burnout Syndrome and sleep quality. The following questionnaires were applied: (1) socio-economic questionnaire and (2) MBI - Maslach Burnout Inventory and 3 PSQI - Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results demonstrated that 16,33% had possible Burnout signs and symptoms; 61,73% had high trends for the manifestation of Burnout manifestation; 21,93% had low index for the pathology. In the case of Sleep Quality during the previous month, 74,4% bad sleeping quality and 25,5% a good sleeping quality. The occurrence of the Burnout Syndrome and bad sleeping quality in the population under analysis was high, probably due to night shift and working periods up to three shifts for better salaries. Awareness of the importance of sleep and habits that lessen stress may be a solution to mitigate the side effects in one´s personal and professional life.
