That seems a sound approach to preparing for sleep, though they do say that if you have difficulty, it might be necessary to make changes in what you habitually do in preparation--as those things may have become associated with the reverse. In such cases, the common advice is to do nothing in bed aside from sleeping so that your mind will come to associate one exclusively with the other.
Perhaps I should have asked, as well, whether you often, seldom or never allow yourself to fall asleep in a chair or in other places than your bed. I will, however, present the issue merely as a matter for your consideration. I'm sure you can see the correlation and may judge for yourself whether any changes of pattern might be useful in your case.
