This is a great rule to follow, and for precisely the right reasons. Staying in bed trying to force yourself to sleep is generally counterproductive, because (1) over the long-run, that creates a negative association in your mind between your bed and being a place of wakefulness, and (2) trying but failing to fall asleep might make you anxious/stressed about not being able to fall asleep, which could put you into a negative feedback cycle that makes it even harder for fall asleep.
