Vivian: Okay, now that I have spoken with your psychiatrist, we have decided to give you medication to help you sleep. Here is a prescription for 15 mg of temazepam, which I want you to take at night on an as-needed basis. You should also refer back to the relaxation techniques on the Patient Self-Help Guide handout I gave you.

Sonia: Yes, I have been. I watch a little TV in bed at night, but it doesn't help.

Vivian: Watching TV at night may actually be keeping you awake by making you concentrate on something other than sleeping. You should meditate or take a bath instead. Try to save your bed as a place for sleep only. Maybe you should remove your TV from your bedroom entirely.

Sonia: Okay.
