Free Insomnia & Sleep Test
Assess your sleep quality with this validated Insomnia Severity Index screening.
How difficult is it for you to fall asleep?
What is the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)?
The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a clinically validated screening tool developed by Charles M. Morin to assess the severity and impact of insomnia symptoms. It's widely used by sleep specialists, GPs, and mental health professionals throughout the NHS and private healthcare.
This free online insomnia test evaluates difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, early morning awakenings, satisfaction with sleep patterns, and how insomnia impacts your daily functioning. Insomnia affects approximately 10-30% of adults at any given time, with chronic insomnia impacting about 10% of the UK population.
Important: While this screening is clinically validated, it cannot diagnose sleep disorders like sleep apnea or other medical conditions affecting sleep. If you suspect a medical sleep disorder or your results suggest severe insomnia, please consult with a healthcare professional.

- • Stimulus control to rebuild bed-sleep association
- • Cognitive therapy for unhelpful sleep beliefs
- • Sleep hygiene optimization
- • Relaxation techniques for bedtime
CBT-I Success Rates
- • 70-80% experience significant improvement
- • Benefits maintained 1-2 years post-treatment

- • Typically 4-8 sessions over 6-8 weeks
- • No side effects unlike sleeping pills
