Wake-up call! Your best self starts with better sleep

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Matamata

Hey neighbours!

Let’s be honest — most of us treat sleep like a bonus round instead of the main event. But here’s the thing: quality sleep isn’t just rest… it’s your body’s nightly recharge!

Getting a solid 7–8 hours can boost your mood, sharpen your mind, strengthen your immune system, and keep those stress levels in check. The best part? You don’t need a fancy trick — just a cozy bed, a calm mind, and a routine your body can count on.

So tonight, skip the endless scroll, fluff those pillows, and give yourself the gift of real rest. Because a good night’s sleep isn’t a luxury, neighbours — it’s a lifestyle.

If you’d love a few simple tips on how to sleep better, check out this quick read from our blog:

Sweet dreams, everyone!

Wild weather in the Waikato

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.

While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.

We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?

Want to see what recovery will look like from here? The Waikato Times has the latest.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
