DSM-5 / ICSD-3 insomnia domain structure (sleep-onset difficulty, sleep-maintenance difficulty, early-morning waking, daytime impairment, sleep-related distress) · Original 20 items, not the copyrighted Insomnia Severity Index (ISI, Morin) — we do not administer that instrument.
No. This check-in is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis. It can help you notice a pattern and put language to it, but only a doctor or sleep specialist can tell you what that pattern means or whether it meets criteria for a sleep disorder.
If your results feel relevant, or if sleep difficulty has lasted more than a few weeks or is affecting your daytime functioning, it's worth talking with a doctor or sleep specialist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the leading evidence-based approach and is often more effective than medication over the long term.
The ISI is a copyrighted clinical questionnaire developed by researcher Charles Morin and used by sleep specialists. This check-in is a separate, original JobCannon tool inspired by the same general areas sleep researchers look at, sleep onset, sleep maintenance, early waking, and daytime impact, but it is not the ISI, doesn't reproduce its questions, and isn't scored the way a clinical instrument would be.
We use plain, everyday language on purpose. A clinical label isn't especially useful without a full evaluation to back it up, and for someone simply noticing a pattern for the first time, plain language tends to feel less alarming than a diagnostic term. The goal here is clarity and self-understanding, not a label.

The Sleep Difficulty Check-In looks at five areas that tend to show up when sleep has become a struggle. Sleep-Onset Difficulty asks about the time it takes to actually fall asleep once you're in bed, whether that's a racing mind, physical restlessness, or clock-watching. Sleep-Maintenance Difficulty covers waking up during the night and how hard it is to drift back off. Early-Morning Waking asks whether you're waking up earlier than planned and can't get back to sleep. Daytime Functional Impairment looks at how much poor sleep spills into your energy, focus, and mood the next day. And Sleep-Related Distress checks how much worry or frustration has built up around sleep itself, since that worry can end up making sleep even harder to reach.
It's worth saying clearly: the occasional rough night doesn't mean anything is wrong. Almost everyone has trouble sleeping now and then, before a big day, during a stressful week, in an unfamiliar bed, or for no obvious reason at all. What tends to matter more is whether difficulty falling or staying asleep happens most nights over an extended stretch, whether it's new or has been building gradually, and whether it's starting to affect how you function, think, or feel during the day.
This check-in is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis, and it isn't a substitute for an assessment by a doctor or sleep specialist. If sleep difficulty is showing up most nights, has lasted more than a few weeks, or is affecting your safety, mood, or ability to function, it's worth bringing it up with a doctor rather than waiting it out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a well-established, highly effective treatment, and persistent sleep difficulty typically responds well to the right support.
Sleep-Onset Difficulty — how much trouble you have falling asleep once you're in bed and ready to sleep.
Sleep-Maintenance Difficulty — how often you wake up during the night and how hard it is to fall back asleep.
Early-Morning Waking — how often you wake up earlier than planned and can't get back to sleep.
Daytime Functional Impairment — how much poor sleep spills into your energy, focus, and mood during the day.
Sleep-Related Distress — how much worry or frustration builds up around your sleep itself.
