Answer
Shalom u’vracha
Prepare yourself as you always do: washing and dignified clothing. Lighting the candles.
Arrange for yourself an appropriate environment to avoid desecrating Shabbat: turn on a night-light in the room beforehand, so that you can get ready for sleep without turning on the light, and sleep without needing to turn the light off.
Likewise, make sure there is continuous lighting in the bathroom, so that you will not need to turn on the light on Shabbat.
