Try Feng Shui. http://www.essortment.com/home/fengshuifurnit_skqh.htm. I know it sounds crazy at first but I really feel it works. My bed was near a window and I couldn't sleep at night cause I always thought I hear noises and then we have a 3 am train that comes through about 1/2 mile away and I know you say that's not bad but I am a light sleeper. But according to Feng Shui I placed my bed on the back wall where my bathroom is like they suggested near water (they didn't suggest the bathroom they just said water was comforting and it worked. Do I hear running water? (Only if I go potty in the middle of the night) No but I am not looking out the window every night thinking I hear things and ambulances and firetrucks trains etc. I don't meditate but just this one tip was great and I sleep much better now and I feel more rested when I get up. Crazy? Maybe but I LIKE IT!
