What will be an ideal response?

1. Set a regular bedtime and wake time. It's helpful to go to bed and wake up at the same time. 2. Limit the use of the bedroom. Use the bedroom/bed only for sleep or sex. 3 . Exit the bedroom if you are not asleep in 15-20 minutes. When you go to bed at your regular time, but don't feel sleepy within 15-20 minutes, you should get up and go into another room until you feel sleepy again. This rule can be used throughout the night if you wake up and can't immediately fall back to sleep. 4. Eliminate naps. Naps can be disruptive to nighttime sleep. If you are unable to avoid a nap mid-day, limit it to one hour and do not sleep after 3 pm. 5. Put your feet on the floor at the same time every morning. It is important to wake up at about the same time every morning, give or take 30 minutes.
