Have you ever wondered why cuddling up next to your partner feels so dam good?

Well, besides the obvious warmth and affection, there's actual science behind it!


Buckle up as we explore how snoozing with your significant other can improve sleep quality and much more.

The Science Behind Sweet Dreams
Ever heard of REM sleep?

It's that magical phase of slumber where dreams take centre stage.

Research suggests that when couples sleep side by side, they tend to spend more time in REM sleep and experience fewer disruptions throughout the night.

That means deeper, more rejuvenating rest for both of you. Who knew sharing a bed could be so beneficial?

But wait, there's more!

Studies have also shown that co-sleeping can lead to increased levels of oxytocin, aka the "love hormone."

This natural chemical not only promotes feelings of bonding and trust but also helps regulate stress levels, making it easier to drift off into dreamland.

The Power of Pillow Talk
It's not just about the Zzz's—sharing a bed can also work wonders for your relationship.

Feeling emotionally secure and connected to your partner can help reduce stress levels, paving the way for a peaceful night's sleep.

Plus, there's nothing quite like waking up next to the one you love, ready to tackle the day together. It's like having your own personal cheerleader 24/7!

But here's the kicker: Studies have shown that couples who share a bed report higher levels of relationship satisfaction and intimacy.

That's right, folks—snuggling up together isn't just good for your sleep, it's also good for your love life!

Syncing Up for Sweet Slumber
Ever notice how you and your partner seem to fall into the same sleep rhythm?

That's called sleep synchronisation, folks, and it's a real game-changer.

When your sleep cycles align, it can lead to smoother transitions between sleep stages and fewer disturbances throughout the night.

In fact, couples who sleep together often experience a deep sense of emotional connection and understanding.

It's like your bodies and minds are perfectly in tune, creating a harmonious atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Talk about a match made in sleep heaven!

Practical Tips for Pillow Partners
Now that we've discussed the perks of co-sleeping, let's discuss some tips for making the most of it.

Here are a few tips to help you and your partner make the most of your shared sleep space:

Invest in a quality mattress. A comfy mattress is key to a good night's sleep. Check out Beds4U's collection of mattresses for the ultimate in comfort and support.

Customise your comfort. Whether you prefer a firm mattress or a plush pillow top, Beds4U has options to suit every sleep style.

Create a cozy sleep environment. Dim the lights, snuggle up under the covers, and let the worries of the day melt away. With the right atmosphere, you'll be drifting off to dreamland in no time.
Snooze Smart with Beds4U
So there you have it, folks!

Sharing a bed with your partner isn't just about cuddles and kisses—it's also about reaping the rewards of better sleep and a stronger relationship.

And when it comes to finding the perfect bed for two, Beds4U has got you covered.

With their wide selection of mattresses and cozy sleep essentials in New Zealand, you'll be well on your way to Snoozeville in no time.

So go ahead, snuggle up and snooze your way to sweet dreams with Beds4U.

After all, when you sleep well, you live well. Sweet dreams!

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.

Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Police are aware of a recent overseas rise in scams which involve an unexpected package being sent to addresses with a gift and a QR code inside. Police believe this scamming method could find its way to New Zealand and we are urging people to be vigilant.

The gift will have the recipients address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift.

The QR code allows the offenders to then access any and all data on your phone or device you used to scan the code, including financial information such as your bank account login details, and personal data.

Police are urging anyone who receives one of these gifts not to scan the QR code, the gift can either be kept or discarded, but do not scan the QR code.
Please report information to Police online at www.police.govt.nz... or call Police on 105.
