If you are not asleep within about twenty minutes, go to another room and sit and relax or read until you feel sleepy again. It may be helpful to have the room pre-prepared, for example, with a book or magazine, music and a warm cover; this will help you to relax more quickly and will also increase the likelihood that you will get out of bed if unable to sleep. If you do not have another room to go to, then try to sit in a chair or on a bean bag, relaxing as described above until you feel sleepy.
