Method: A cross sectional study of 353 elderly of admitting to family health center was done using designed questionnaire to gather about disorders of sleep,  their existing illnesses, medications that they used and their depression status. Depression was assessed by the short form Geriatric Depression Scale-4 and daytime sleepiness was assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Results: The mean age of the elderly patients participating in the study is 71.95±9.2. Awareness levels of sleep disorder are 36.8%. More than half of the elderly patients wake up early and have difficulties in falling asleep, and 93.8% cannot maintain sleeping. Approximately 2/3 of the elderly patients have difficulty in maintaining the sleep by reason of going to the toilet. About 1/5 of the elderly patients have daytime sleepiness, nightmares and screaming in the sleep, and 42.6% have symptoms of sleep disorder such as snoring. The elderly patients having diabetes, respiratory system diseases and cardiovascular diseases have difficulties significantly in falling asleep compared to the elderly patients with no diseases. Depression (except sleep disruption) was found to be an important factor affecting sleep complaints. Conclusion: The level of awareness of sleep disorders among the elderly patients is low. Symptoms of insomnia are common in the elderly patients and depression is an important factor affecting sleep complaints.
