Getting up after 20 minutes and doing something relaxing until he feels sleepy is the best choice. This technique is known as "quarter hour returns" and it helps to break the cycle of anxiety and frustration that comes with trying to fall asleep. The relaxing activity could include reading a book, listening to calming music, or practicing deep breathing. Getting out of bed, exercising vigorously or taking a warm shower may make it harder to fall asleep because it increases your heart rate and body temperature which can interfere with sleep. Staying in bed and checking the clock or using electronic devices can also cause anxiety and hinder the ability to relax and fall asleep.
