Objectives:-the primary objective is to assess the level of sleep and finding the effect of deep breathing exercises on the quality of sleep. the secondary objective is to find out the association between quality of sleep with selected socio-demographic variables Methods:-This was a true experimental study, conducted among 60 geriatrics residing in Nirmal  Hriday, Under Missionaries of charity, Satya Nagar,  Bhubaneswar. Odisha. The samples were selected through simple random sampling and interviewed through a self-structured demographic Performa and Pittsburgh sleep quality index to assess the quality of sleep. Result:-the result shows that the geriatrics who received the intervention show the level of sleep quality is enhanced compared to routine care without exercise.
