  2. Each answer maps to one of 7 scored components (0 = no difficulty, 3 = severe difficulty).
  3. The calculator sums all 7 component scores into a global PSQI score (0–21).
  4. A global score of 5 or below indicates good sleep quality.
  5. A global score above 5 indicates poor sleep quality — consider discussing with a clinician.
  6. Results are computed entirely in your browser; nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
