Understand the nature of insomnia: Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to go back to sleep.
Identify the ineffective strategies: Recognize that using sleeping pills, dealing with anxieties directly before bed, and watching TV in bed are not effective long-term solutions for insomnia.
Explore the concept of sleep hygiene: Sleep hygiene involves practices that promote regular, restful sleep, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and creating a comfortable sleep environment.
Consider the principle of stimulus control: This principle suggests that the bed should be associated with sleep only, which means going to bed only when sleepy and avoiding activities like watching TV in bed.
Apply the correct strategy: To improve sleep quality, go to bed only when you feel sleepy, which helps strengthen the association between bed and sleep, thereby reducing insomnia symptoms.
