“Skip the adult beverages before bed,” says says Chris Freytag, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the American Council on Exercise and a personal trainer and weight management coach. “Too much alcohol will affect sleep,” adds Scott. Instead, opt for a more soothing nightcap like non-caffeinated tea or hot water with lemon. As a side note: Scott recommends avoiding caffeine at least 6-10 hours before bed (depending on how severely it affects you) and Freytag suggests cutting out caffeine after 5 p.m.
