I used to have really bad insomnia as well, and completely agree with this.

Also:

* Get up early (like 6AM early)

* Avoid stimulants (caffeine etc) after midday (I used to drink tea/coffee in the evening, and then wonder why I couldn't sleep)

* Get a dog (helps with the getting up early part, also makes you do exercise)

* Get technology out of your bedroom (a lamp is ok, but get rid of the TV, leave your phone/tablet/laptop in another room while you sleep)

It really isn't rocket science.
