Background: the sleep quality is a fundamental aspect of children’s development, and its alteration could lead to pathologic events, which compromise the quality of life and child development. Objective: to present data of sleep quality of healthy schoolchildren. Method: reported a record of 5 healthy schoolchildren cases whose had their sleep assessed by means of home nighttime polygraphy (PND) and Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ). Anthropometry, spirometry and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire were also applied. Results: The children evaluated had a mean age of 10.8 ± 1.78 years (1 boy), and a BMI of 18.94 ± 2.45 cm / m2. The average sleep record time in the HNP was 430 minutes (7.1 hours), with an oxygen pulse saturation of 95.8% average, and a heart rate of 64.3 bpm. The apnea hypopnea index (AHI) varied between 2 and 4.3 per hour (mean of 2.9), and when analyzing only the events in the supine position, the mean of the AHI was 3.38. All children had snoring at night, with great variation between them (4-63 snoring episodes / night). The SBQ resulted in an average of 42.8 points, a value suggestive of mild SDB, in addition to the presence of snoring, although the students were healthy. Conclusion: the healthy children evaluated in this study presented symptoms, which indicates respiratory sleep disturbance such as mild sleep apnea.
