Insomnia Severity Index Score 22 to 28 - Severe Clinical Insomnia (Stage 4)
A score of 22 to 28 is associated with severe clinical insomnia (Stage 4).
This is likely to be caused by severe arthritis which may be poorly controlled or reflect a lack of adequate input from your medical team.
In addition to the recommendations for Stages 1 to 3, you should consult with a healthcare professional to get the support needed.
