Introduction and aim: Primary hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder. While thyroid dysfunction is recognized for impacting numerous bodily systems, the connection between thyroid disorders and sleep function remains unclear.

This study aimed to assess sleep dysfunction in patients with primary hypothyroidism using validated questionnaires.
