Stimulus Control

Stimulus control therapy consists of a set of behavioral rules designed to bring the patient to reassociate the bed and bedroom with sleep rather than with arousal or the frustration caused by the inability to sleep. This is achieved by curtailing sleep-incompatible activities. A second objective is to establish a consistent sleep-wake rhythm by setting a regular arising time and by avoiding naps. Standard stimulus control instructions are:

  • Go to bed only when sleepy.
  • Use the bed and bedroom for sleep and sexual activity only; do not read, watch TV, or worry in bed.
  • When unable to sleep within 15 to 20 min, leave the bed and go into another room; return to bed only when sleepy again (this step is repeated as often as necessary throughout the night).
  • Arise at the same time every morning regardless of the amount of sleep obtained the night before.
  • Do not take naps during the day.

Depression Tip
A good tip for depression sufferers for THINKING POSITIVELY is to make sure that they are around positive people. The company you keep really influences whether you are THINKING POSITIVELY.
