The National Sleep Foundation offers these guidelines:
-
Keep your room quiet or use earplugs or a white noise machine.

Keep your room at the right temperature -- not too hot and on the cooler side.
-
Make sure the room is dark.
-
Allow plenty of room in your bed to stretch out and get comfortable. Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow.

Address issues that affect your sleep, such as snoring or television watching, with your partner.
