(HealthDay News) -- If you're struggling to get a good night's sleep, your sleep environment and bedtime habits may need changing.

The National Sleep Foundation offers these suggestions that may help you sleep better:

Go to bed and try to wake at the same time each day.
Prepare for bed with a relaxing routine, such as taking a bath or reading.
Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark.
Use a firm but comfortable mattress, and lots of plush pillows.
Never perform work-related duties in your bedroom.
Don't eat for at least two hours before you go to bed.
Exercise each day, but never just before bedtime.
Skip caffeine, alcohol and nicotine in the hours before bedtime.
