Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mandy will be using stimulus control, which involves establishing a consistent sleep schedule and only using the bed for sleeping. This technique helps to associate the bed with sleep and improve sleep efficiency. The other options (relaxation response, sleep restriction, and paradoxical intention) may also be helpful for treating insomnia, but they are not specifically mentioned in Mandy's treatment plan.
