How To Have Sound Sleep During Night?

I seem to be having trouble staying asleep every night. I fall asleep easily but constantly wake up about 2-5 times a night. I wake feeling extremely exhausted and felt as if I had not slept. I have not taken any sleeping pills for this, I d rather not take medication for this but if need be, so be it. Can you help me or give me some advice?
