Master The Gentle Art Of Sleep

Hilda Ross Retirement Village

A good night's sleep is essential for your physical and mental well-being. If you find yourself tossing and turning, try these tips to help you achieve the sleep of your dreams.

Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking, swimming, or yoga on most days of the week. Just avoid exercising too close to bedtime, as it may increase alertness.

Setting up a regular sleep schedule can work wonders for achieving restful sleep. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time every day, even on weekends. This will help regulate your body's internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally.

Electronic devices emit blue light that suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. Not to mention that texting, watching television or scrolling are all stimulating, which can keep your brain on alert. Avoid using electronic devices for at least an hour before bed and turn off the TV.

Have you been past the old theatre lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It was a spectacle that would have thrilled anyone’s inner three-year-old.

And, on Tuesday afternoon, some actual three and two-year-olds were lucky enough to be among those looking on as a pair of gigantic orange demolition excavators tore into the northern wall of Hamilton’s Founders Theatre in the manner of ravenous monsters.

Pulse Energy

Graham from Nawton

Back in January, Pulse had a big sales blitz, offering cheaper power. However, my accounts have been more than my previous supplier, Frank Energy. My last account, about $50 more. I have been having an ongoing debate with them. Who else, has been having this problem?
