The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a seven-item self-report tool used to quantify insomnia symptom burden, sleep-related distress, and daytime impact over recent weeks.
Formula: ISI total = sum of 7 item scores (each 0-4), total range 0-28.
Higher ISI totals indicate greater insomnia symptom burden and daytime impact, supporting escalation of targeted sleep-focused care.
Use in outpatient and behavioral-health workflows to baseline insomnia severity and monitor change over time.
The ISI is self-reported and does not directly measure sleep architecture, breathing disorders, circadian disorders, or medication effects without additional assessment.
