Abstract	The present study examined the relationship between household chaos and insomnia severity among Indian housewives using a quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational research design. The Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale (CHAOS) developed by A. P. Matheny et al. (1995) and the Insomnia Severity Index developed by Charles M. Morin (1993) were administered to 300 Indian housewives. Descriptive statistics indicated that respondents reported a mean score of 10.45 (SD = 5.186) for household chaos and 11.26 (SD = 6.056) for insomnia severity. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between household chaos and insomnia severity (r = .691, p < .01). The null hypothesis was rejected, indicating that higher levels of household chaos are associated with greater insomnia severity among Indian housewives. Limitations include the use of self-report measures and a specific population focus. Future research may explore additional psychosocial factors influencing sleep patterns among women.
