(HealthDay News) -- It's important to create the right environment to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.

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.
