Do: Take a hot shower or bath an hour before bed. This will soothe and relax your muscles and cue your body that it's time to sleep.

Don’t: Eat a large meal. It takes about four hours to digest a meal, which can keep you awake so wrap up meals early.

Do: Eat small snacks. When you go without eating for a long period of time your body send out signals to increase sugar levels in the bloodstream.
