The work was carried out in order to study the psychological and physiological effects of lack of sleep in nurses working in the surgeries. Method: This study, which is of a characteristic type, was carried out in the surgeries of a university hospital between 4 September and 4 October 2017. Nurses who worked as a surgeon and who agreed to participate in the work were included in the research. The individual identification form, which consists of 52 questions created by the researchers, was used to collect data. The Nurses used the Sleep Quality Index (PUKI) and the Insomnia Violence Index (UHI) to assess the lack of sleep. The data was evaluated by percentage, average and Mann Whitney U test.                   The average age of the nurses involved in the study is 36. 6±8.8, the average working year in the hospital was 11.7±9.3; the average monthly number of attacks was 4.4±5.9. It was found that 67.5% of nurses worked on the day and on the emergency system. The study found that the nurses had an average of 12.4±4.67 (mediate sleep disorder) and the PUKI score was 2.0±0.0 (good sleep quality). It was statistically meaningful that nurses working with day and stroke vary had lower blood pressure (p≤0.05). The study found that nurses working in the surgical room had a middle-level sleep system according to the USI average, that nurses thought they had insufficient sleep, and that they were physically and psychically affected by this condition.
