About the ISI
Insomnia Severity Index
The ISI is a brief, validated questionnaire used to assess the nature, severity, and impact of insomnia. It evaluates sleep onset, sleep maintenance, and early morning awakening problems.
How it works:
- • Answer 7 questions about your sleep over the past 2 weeks
- • Each response is scored from 0 to 4
- • Total scores range from 0 to 28
- • Results indicate insomnia severity with recommendations
Important Disclaimer: This screening tool is for educational purposes only and is not a clinical diagnosis. It cannot replace a professional evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider. If you're experiencing significant sleep problems, please seek professional help.
