Grabbing a wonderful night meal

good sleep or relaxing with the tv on or doing some stuffs on the computer. The

should be avoided as they will make you feel weak and slow as you wake up the following
morning. Also, it will increase the workload of your stomach during the night,
which may eventually not make you have a wonderful sleep. It is better to avoid
food such as nuts, iced-creams, and other high fat foods.
2. Foods
high in carbohydrate and sugar (artificial or natural). You may actually have a
bit of a sweet drink, but it should be moderate. But taking more sugary things,
such as cakes, chocolate, juice will let your whole body to overwork. This is

that when you actually needed to rest. So, avoid break, cookies or other high
carbohydrate snacks.

night.
