Free Self-Rated Screening
Do I have insomnia?
An ISI-style check covering difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early, and how much sleep problems affect your daytime life and worry. Answer each item honestly to get a score and general interpretation — this is for awareness only and doesn't replace a psychiatric assessment.
This public web version closely follows the structure of the widely used Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), adapted into original wording. Its scoring range (0-28) mirrors the ISI's published severity bands.
Result
0/28
1. Difficulty falling asleep
2. Difficulty staying asleep during the night
3. Problems waking up too early and not returning to sleep
4. Dissatisfaction with your current sleep pattern
5. How noticeable your sleep problem is to others, in terms of impairing your quality of life
6. How worried or distressed you are about your current sleep problem
7. How much your sleep problem interferes with daytime functioning — fatigue, mood, concentration
Interpretation: No clinically significant insomnia
Your sleep pattern doesn't suggest significant insomnia. Maintain good sleep hygiene proactively. Screening results are not a diagnosis. A clinical interview is needed to understand causes, severity, safety, medical factors and the best treatment plan.
