Setting: The study was conducted at Dermatology, Venereology and Andrology Unit, Specialized Medical Building, Main Mansoura University hospital, Egypt. Method: A purposive sample of 60 adult patients were randomly classified into two equal groups 30 patients for each group. Tools of data collection: Four tools were used for data collection: Patients' Interviewing Questionnaire, Sleep Quality Scale (SQS), Psoriasis Area Severity Index (SPASI) and Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living. Results: Revealed a statistically significant relationship (p 0.05) between the Katz Index of Independence with the study group's scores on the sleep quality scale and the patients' psoriasis area severity index. Furthermore, there was an inverse correlation between sleep quality scale and Katz Index of Independence with psoriasis area severity index (- 0.437) and a positive correlation between sleep quality (0.453) and Katz Index of Independence. (- 0.398). Conclusion: The sleep hygiene measures had a positive effect on enhancing the level of sleep quality with reducing the severity of the disease and improving the performance of daily living activities among the study group's patients.
