Translated from Yalkut Yosef Online (Yalkut.Info):
1. During tomorrow's fast we are allowed to bathe, moisturize our body with oils/creams, wear leather and have marital relations. The only prohibition is in regards to consumption of food and drink. One is even allowed to shower with hot water on a fast, however; one who is stringent upon himself not to should be praised (tavo alav beracha).
2. One who sleeps an actual sleep on their bed (and not a temporary nap) on the night before the fast (like tonight), he is not allowed to eat food or drink in the middle of the night before dawn (5:48am EST). One is only allowed to eat in the middle of the night before fasting only when they held a condition for themselves before sleeping that if they wake up in the middle of the night they will eat and drink for the fast. This is according to peshat level but according to the Zohar, even with a condition, one should not eat in the middle of the night.
Shavua Tov & Tzom Mo'il (have a meaningful fast)!
