About the ISI
The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a brief, validated instrument that measures the perceived severity of insomnia. It evaluates difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, early awakening, sleep satisfaction, interference with daily functioning, noticeability, and distress.
The ISI is widely used in sleep research and clinical practice. It is a recommended outcome measure by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for evaluating insomnia treatment effectiveness.
