Those who suffer from chronic insomnia or who have difficulty falling asleep sometimes may benefit from the following exercise.
Yoga Nidra
Most people already know that yoga and meditation promote serenity and awareness, but many are unaware that they can also encourage a healthy sleep pattern. Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a type of guided meditation that is done while laying still in savasana or similar comfortable reclined position.
Revamp Your Bed
Research proves sleeping on a mattress that is too soft or too firm can lead to muscular discomfort, causing wakefulness during the night. Using an old pillow or one that is the wrong firmness or shape for your preferred sleep position can have a similar effect. If you find that you cannot get comfortable in your bed or wake up often throughout the night, replacing your pillow or mattress could help.
Clean Your Bedroom
Because there is a link between a crowded bedroom and a cluttered mind, it stands to reason that sleeping in a tidy bedroom can enhance sleep and minimize racing thoughts. Organizing and tidying your room can help you relax at the end of the day to snuggle into a beautifully made bed.

Happy Matariki 2022!
It's a time to celebrate new life, to remember those who’ve passed, and to plan for the future. Matariki is a time to spend with whānau and friends – to enjoy kai (food), waiata (song), tākaro (games), and haka.
Build a cosy bug hotel to hang in a quiet corner of your garden and paint it in your favourite Resene hues.
