The sound level in your bedroom is one of the biggest keys to helping you sleep better. If it's not quiet there, getting restful sleep will be much harder.
Some hints: quiet goes without saying. If you make it quiet, try to block the sound. Think a fan, or one of those "quiet noise" devices. Or a CD that makes noises like ocean waves, or whatever. But ultimately, silence is a good thing, and if you can make yourself sleep without any sound devices, you're probably better off.
If you have to sleep at different hours (because of work or whatever) a masking device (such as a fan) is probably necessary. Likewise if you sleep in an area where there's a lot of traffic or activity at night.
Get rid of -- or turn off -- devices that will make noise during the night. A clock that chimes every hour may be something you don't even notice during the day, but at night it might make your sleep more restless. And while I don't turn off the phone's ringer, there are times if I'm really pooped that I'll turn it off. If the message is important, they'll leave a message.
