Sleep and Stress: Techniques to Unwind and Promote Relaxation

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Newmarket

In our fast-paced world, stress has become an all-too-familiar companion. It can creep into our lives and disrupt our sleep, leaving us feeling tired and overwhelmed. Fortunately, there are effective techniques to help us unwind and promote relaxation, paving the way for a restful slumber. Here are a few tips to consider:

1️⃣ Bedtime routine: Create a consistent routine with calming activities like reading, bathing, or gentle stretches. Avoid electronic devices due to their interference with sleep hormones.

2️⃣ Deep breathing & meditation: Practice slow, deep breaths in a quiet space with closed eyes. Start with a few minutes of meditation daily and increase gradually.

3️⃣ Physical activity: Engage in enjoyable exercise like walking, yoga, or sports. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days.

4️⃣ Sleep-friendly environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Use comfortable bedding, a supportive mattress, and remove stressors like work-related items or electronics.

5️⃣ Relaxation techniques: Try progressive muscle relaxation, aromatherapy, soothing music, or gentle yoga poses. Release tension and prepare for a peaceful sleep.

Remember, it takes time to find what works best for you. Be patient and kind to yourself. By prioritizing relaxation and incorporating these techniques, you can reduce stress, unwind, and wake up refreshed.
Sweet dreams! ✨

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Hello fellow power users
I am expecting you have noticed your power bills rising dramatically.
Do you know that the government has sanctioned the removal by the power companies of the Low User charges as it was seen to be unfair to high users? . This decision mostly affected the elderly the one person home and the conservative people.
This is in a time when NZ is having trouble generating power and is running out of gas. There is no incentive to save power.
Recently the power has gone up twice and mostly in the daily rate which means no matter how long you sit under a blanket to keep warm and try to reduce the bill, you will not change the result.
Please consider contacting your local MP or party leaders of our current government asking them to get these charges in oder. They tell us Power and Rates are causing the highest effect on our raised inflation.
As it is election year this is the best time to affect a reaction by Govt to a very serious topic.
Winter will be here soon to remind you.
