Eating and Drinking: try to eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and eat slow-release energy foods like nuts fruit and veg and whole grains.
Sleeping: Memories are backed up when we sleep so try and get 6 to 8 hours sleep a night - relax before going to bed so you can switch off and get to sleep.
