OBJECTIVE: to construct and validate an educational booklet for the elderly, with guidelines on sleep hygiene. METHOD: a methodological research with booklet construction; validation by 22 judges and evaluation by 22 elderly people. The content was extracted from the guidelines of the Brazilian Sleep Association and the elderly health manual of the Human Rights Office. The item with Content Validity Index (CVI) greater than 0.8 or whose concordance ratio verified with the Binomial Test was valid and statistically equal to or greater than 80%. RESULTS: the booklet presented 14 guidelines for the elderly about sleep hygiene distributed over 25 pages. All items were evaluated as relevant. The CVI had an average of 0.95 by the judges and 0.95 by the elderly. CONCLUSION: the booklet was constructed and validated as to its content and appearance. It can be used by health professionals in the various services with the elderly.
