OUR GO DRY JULY PROGRAM (2022) IS ALMOST DONE
OUR GO DRY JULY PROGRAM (2022) IS ALMOST DONE
The GO DRY JULY program is supported by people who accept the challenge of going without alcohol for the month of July, hence the name GO DRY JULY.
In recognition of their abstinence the participants solicit donations from family, friends, colleagues, business houses, and organisations in return for their commitment (and donations) to the fundraising program.
We are so close to the finish line for our GO DRY JULY, but there is still time to encourage more financial support.
Thanks to all of the very kind people that have supported us with their donations. If you are one of those people, you have our gratitude and respect.
Currently, we have raised $1200, but with further support we would like to reach the sum of $1800. The money is so vital for the work we undertake getting the message out to all the men of New Zealand on the subject of prostate cancer.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation relies on these funds along with sponsorship, business donations, bequests from estates, and any other funding opportunity we can sight.
Any donation amount is appreciated and will help make a difference to the lives of people affected by prostate cancer in practical and tangible ways.
All donations will be recognised and those over $5.00 will receive a receipt for tax purposes, just click one the links below, you choose.

Tips on Accelerating Your Comfort Level with a New Mattress
Getting started on the quest for the perfect night’s sleep with a new mattress can be exciting, but it often requires a period of adjustment.
If you've recently invested in a new mattress and are wondering about the time frame for adjustment, you're not alone.
Understanding the typical adjustment period can greatly improve your sleep health and ensure you get the most comfort out of your new bed.
The Personal Touch: Individual Variation in Adjustment
When it comes to adapting to a new mattress, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
The mattress adjustment period can vary significantly depending on a number of personal factors.
Age, health, and even your usual sleep position can influence how quickly you adjust.
Generally, most people take anywhere from a few days up to a month to fully adapt to their new sleeping environment.
During this time, your body is acclimating to the support and feel of the mattress, which may differ significantly from your old one.
Understanding Mattress Types and Their Impact
The type of mattress you choose also plays a crucial role in your adjustment period.
Memory foam, for instance, may require a longer adjustment period as it contours more significantly to your body compared to a traditional spring mattress.
On the other hand, hybrid mattresses—a combination of foam and springs—offer a balance of support and cushioning, which might ease the adaptation process.
Tips for a Smoother Transition
Adapting to your new mattress is not just about waiting it out; there are active steps you can take to make the process smoother:
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day sets your body’s internal clock, which can help reduce the adjustment time.
Create a comfortable sleep environment. Ensure your bedroom is conducive to sleep—consider factors like temperature, light, and noise.
Give it time. Even if your new mattress feels different or not quite right initially, give it a few weeks, as initial discomfort is common.

Recognizing the Signs of Successful Adjustment
How do you know if you're well-adjusted to your new mattress?
Look for positive changes in your sleep quality and health.
You should experience less tossing and turning, fewer awakenings through the night, and reduced morning stiffness or soreness.
Increased sleep quality and waking up feeling rested are clear indicators that your body has adapted to the new mattress.
Comfort with Confidence
Adjusting to a new mattress is a unique experience that varies from person to person.
By understanding your needs and the characteristics of different mattress types, along with employing tips to aid the transition, you can enhance your sleep quality significantly.
Remember, a good night's sleep is crucial for your overall health and well-being.
