What this self-check measures
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “I have to earn a good night's sleep”, including the private rule underneath it: Rest is a payout, not a baseline — so before you're permitted to sleep well, you have to prove the day was hard enough to have purchased it, and an easy day means you're not entitled to a full one.
