SCD is a genetic pathology with systemic repercussions, considered as one of the most common serious single-gene diseases in the world. It has a wide variety of clinical manifestations associated with acute episodes of manifestations and progressive dysfunction of various organs. The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of sleep disorders in adolescents with PD and compare it with a group of adolescents without PD. This is an observational study analytical, transversal, descriptive constituted by a study group composed of 48 adolescents of twelve to sixteen years old with SCD, and a control group formed by 38 adolescents from twelve to sixteen years old without the said disease. A previously validated questionnaire was applied to parents or caregivers to to assess sleep disorders, the Children's Sleep Disorders Scale (EDSC). The results demonstrated that sickle cell adolescents have more sleep hyperhidrosis than adolescents without the aforementioned disease and that they are more sleepy during the day
