Creating a sleep-conducive environment is important for people with insomnia. Doing non-sleep related activities in bed can hinder the brain's association between bed and sleep. It is best to use the bed exclusively for sleep, so the brain can recognize that it is time to sleep when in bed. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A may be a short-term solution but is not recommended for long-term use. Option B is not helpful and may exacerbate sleep problems. Option C contradicts the advice to use the bed exclusively for sleep.
