Are you having trouble getting to sleep at night?
Here are some helpful tips to help you get a good night's rest.
But when these simple tips fail, try a breathing exercise.
The Box Breath works well for me.
Step1: Inhale through the nose for 4 counts.
Step2: Hold the Inhale for 4 counts.
Step3: Exhale slowly and fully through the nose for 4 counts.
Step4: When you finish Exhaling, hold the breath for 4 counts.
Step5: Continue breathing like this till you feel relaxed enough to drift off to sleep.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
