Athens Insomnia Scale
The AIS is an 8-item self-report scale designed to assess insomnia severity in adolescents and adults, based on ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for insomnia disorder. Developed by Soldatos and colleagues in 2000, it is widely used in European primary care, psychiatry, and sleep medicine for screening and severity assessment. The AIS is brief (3–5 minutes), applicable across ages and cultures, and sensitive to treatment-induced change in both pharmacological and behavioral interventions.
