Don't go to bed on an empty stomach. I can't fall asleep if I'm hungry. This is hugely bad advice. Consistently going to bed with anything other than an empty stomach can lead to acid reflux (GERD). This is especially so after having chocolate before bed time, since chocolate loosens the muscle between your stomach and esophagus and allows acid to enter the tender areas of your esophagus, causing scaring and pain. I have severe issues with this because of years of laying down after eating dinner. The muscle referred to above, in my case, is permanently damaged, such that it won't close all the way. I have to be very careful what I do after eating. It will be this way for the rest of my life and it's a complete pain in the ass. Not everyone experiences this, but many will. I strongly recommend people do not follow the parent comment's advice.
