Objective: To estimate the prevalence and investigate factors associated with sleep problems in adults enrolled in the Family Health Strategy in 2016. Methods: Cross-sectional sample study with 791 individuals aged 18 years or over, conducted between 2017 and 2018. Sleep problems were measured using the Mini Sleep Questionnaire, a questionnaire validated in Brazil. Results: The prevalence of sleep problems was 49.6%. Of these, 10.4% had mild, 7.6% moderate, and 31.6% severe alterations. There was a statistically significant association between not having a paid work activity, not having leisure activities, smoking, chronic disease, and negative self-assessment of health with sleep problems. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of sleep problems. These results can contribute to a better understanding of sleep problems in the adult population and thus collaborate with adopting more effective measures to treat them.
