Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night

Sleep makes you feel better, but its importance goes way beyond just boosting your mood or banishing under-eye circles. Adequate sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, and can benefit your heart, weight, mind, and more. In most cases, the health risks from sleep loss only become serious after years. That might not always be true, however.

Do not eat after sunset or Fasting, Aymbel or Akasnu each day

Similarly, it is also acceptable to follow the challenge of eating 4 hours before you go to bed. Medical research proves that it is essential for you to have time between your dinner and sleep, so you have enough time to digest your food. If it's less than 4 hours, the food then gets stored in fat reserves (which are ultimatley the hardest to lose).
