1	Lie down to go to sleep only when you are sleepy.
2	Do not use the bed for anything except sleep and sex. Do not eat, read, watch television, or worry in bed.
3	If you cannot fall asleep within 10 min, get up and go to another room. Only return to bed when you feel sleepy again.
4	If you return to bed and still cannot fall asleep, repeat step 3. Do this as often as necessary throughout the night.
