Self Care Sundays #4 - Sleep

Talia Scarborough from The New Think

Kia ora Neighbours!

✨It's that time...✨
This week’s self care topic is SLEEP.
Now, this is a HUGE topic to unpack so I’m going to barely scratch the surface here but I am going to try to bridge the gap between what the research tells us and some of our more prominent societal attitudes towards sleep:

1. Sleep is not like money – you can’t spend the week in a sleep-deficit and try to catch up on the weekend.

2. A lot of the way our social and work lives are structured doesn’t give getting enough sleep the priority it deserves.

3. Caffeine & alcohol can affect the QUALITY of our sleep.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
