What to do during the day:
===================
Try to wake up early before sunrise, clean your altar, light the lamp and offer flowers to the Lord, try to eat minimal (fast completely if you can, otherwise drink/eat just milk, water & bananas (fruits) only during meal times). Refrain from unneccessary talk (try to maintain Silence) throughout the day till midnight, contemplate on the Lord's name or a verse from the scriptures. Shiva Ratri is the most auspicious day and Lord's grace is at the highest. Try to gain as much of that Grace through the above practices.
