Did you know that alcohol reduces rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
According to findings, the more you drink before bed, the more pronounced these effects. REM sleep happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. It's the stage of sleep when people dream, and it's thought to be restorative. Disruptions in REM sleep may cause daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, and rob you of needed ZZZs.
Alcohol may seem to be helping you to sleep, as it helps induce sleep, but overall it is more disruptive to sleep, particularly in the second half of the night if taken repeatedly.

Alcohol also suppresses breathing and can cause sleep apnea," or breathing pauses that occur throughout the night.

Studies prove that using alcohol as a sleeping aid can result in insomnia in the long run. However a drink or two here and there taken in a moderate quantity is of no harm.

Getting you closer to nature is our thing. Nature can change your perspective whether it is by the mass of a thundering waterfall or in the presence of a wild kiwi. You will feel alive, reinvigorated, and changed.

Our founders Les and Olive Hutchins felt just that when our journey began in 1954. They pioneered a movement to show people the power of real places and the need to respect and cherish them.

Our experiences are as real as it gets. Take a closer look and see for yourself.
