ABSTRACT: Insufficient sleep could severely impair both cognitive and learning skills. More prominent changes are found in children and adolescents.

The following tasks were resolved in our study: translation, validation, and analysis of psychometric properties of the Russian adaptation of the PDSS by standard tests. After the semantic validation of the instrument through a multi-stage translation process we checked its psychometric validation. A total of 552 students, consisting of N
