The Insomnia Severity Index has seven questions. The seven answers are added up to get a total score. When you have your total score, look at the 'Guidelines for Scoring/Interpretation' at the bottom of the Insomnia Severity Index page to see where your sleep difficulty fits. Print out a copy of your completed Insomnia Severity Index to take to your health care provider.

 

Please rate the CURRENT (i.e. LAST 2 WEEKS) SEVERITY of your insomnia problem(s).
