Recent studies allow us to consider sleep disorders not only as a sign of somatic pathology, but also as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

However, general clinical practice does not pay sufficient attention to the evaluation of sleep disorders. This misses the opportunity to improve cardiovascular prognosis in patients who have avoidable sleep disturbance factors. The aim of the study was to assess the duration and quality of sleep in 73 patients of the cardiology departments of 432 Main military clinical medical center in various age groups by interviewing and filling out a questionnaire to assess the quality of sleep. It is established that this method can be used for the primary assessment of sleep quality. The disadvantage of this method is its subjective nature, which can be corrected by evaluating sleep based on programs embedded in fitness trackers. An algorithm for diagnosis and management of patients with sleep disorders in different age groups is proposed.
