This screener is based on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) developed by Dr. Charles M. Morin and is used for educational purposes only. It is not a diagnostic tool. Sleep problems can be connected to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, stress, medical concerns, and other conditions. A licensed provider can perform a full evaluation.

Why Mental Health and Sleep Are Connected
When your mind does not slow down at night, it becomes harder to rest, recover, and function well during the day. Anxiety, depression, emotional stress, and racing thoughts can all contribute to insomnia and poor-quality sleep.
Living a better quality life often starts with taking care of your mental health, and restful sleep is a big part of that.
