Tired of tossing and turning at night and waking up exhausted?
Here are some tips and suggestions involving light exercises to help you achieve a better night's sleep.

Walking
A good walk outside might be the solution to your sleep deprivation. Walking at any pace is a nice method to unwind after a long day. The combined advantages of exercise and exposure to nature enhance restfulness.

Flexibility training
Aches and pain may cause problems on a good night's sleep. If your body hurts and you can't sleep, consider including yoga exercises into your night regimen. Stretching at night can mobilise any stiff joints and relax any stiff muscles. Using a latex mattress might also be beneficial depending on one's comfort.

Strength training
Some believe that undertaking intensive activities at night, such as weightlifting, affects sleep, yet studies show otherwise. Keep in mind that you don't have to go overboard during a nighttime strength training workout. If you're worried about having difficulties sleeping, do a shorter or less intensive strength training exercise before bed.

Kindly let us know by commenting if you found these suggestions beneficial in your everyday routines.

FLYPAST ALERT: NORTHLAND AND MANAWATU-WHANGANUI!
The Air Force Heritage Flight of New Zealand are excited to detail our planned 25 April 2022 Anzac Day Flypasts.
Northland

Northland played a significant part in New Zealand’s Military Aviation Heritage, including the extensive facilities at RNZAF Station Waipapakauri. The Air Force Heritage Flight is recognising the importance of Northland on Anzac Day by conducting a series of flypasts with Harvard ZK-ENB “NZ1076”. Purchased new by the RNZAF in 1944, NZ1076 is an important piece of New Zealand's military aviation heritage.

Note that the flypasts will be conducted in accordance with Civil Aviation Rules and will therefore be no lower than 1000 feet above the ground. Whilst the Harvard will not be low nor fast, we hope that you enjoy its undeniable presence and character!
