It's not included in the abstract, but the Lee paper contains a discussion concerning behavioral interventions and mentions that behavioral intervention is possibly more efficacious. He cited the other two articles as his sources.
But, just doing a quick search on Pubmed....
Abstract 1"In this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (k = 23), moderate to large effects of behavioral treatments on subjective sleep outcomes were found."
Abstract 2"Nonpharmacologic therapies can also help patients learn how to fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality. It is important for physicians to teach patients good sleep hygiene as part of their treatment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective in the treatment of insomnia, alone and in combination with pharmacotherapy, but finding a qualified provider can be difficult and the patient must be willing to take the time to learn the therapies and wait for them to show effect."
Abstract 3"Whereas the underlying pathophysiology of PI remains poorly understood, it is widely accepted that a host of cognitive and behavioral factors play important roles in perpetuating this condition. As such, a multi-factorial, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has emerged as a "treatment of choice" for managing the sleep/wake complaints of PI sufferers."
Hope maybe that's more of what you're looking for
