Getting out of bed and doing something relaxing until he feels sleepy is the best option as it allows Tarik to break the pattern of tossing and turning in bed, and engage in an activity that will help him relax and eventually feel sleepy. Exercising vigorously may make him more alert and awake, while watching TV or using his laptop may stimulate his brain and delay sleep further.
