Principle #3:
your mental activities when going to bed strongly
influence your ability to fall asleep
* Sleep depends on urge to sleep and parasympathetic
nervous system activity (relaxation response).
* Activation of the sympathetic nervous system (fight or
flight) inhibits sleep.
* Ways in which patients respond to insomnia, such as
laying in bed awake, worrying or using their beds for
mental work, condition a response to bedtime,
perpetuating insomnia.
