Heavy, rich foods at night take longer to digest and acidic, spicy foods can cause heartburn so best to avoid these types of foods at least 2 hours before bedtime.
Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health and for a good nights rest! The nicotine in cigarettes is a stimulant and can make it harder for you to fall asleep.
