4 Benefits of Sleeping Next To Your Partner
1. Provides Comfort and Security: Sleeping next to your partner can make you feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Feeling the warmth of their body next to yours can create a sense of intimacy and closeness that can be hard to replicate in any other setting.
2. Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Sleeping next to someone you trust and care about can help you feel less stressed and anxious. The presence of your partner can help regulate your breathing and heart rate, leading to a more restful and peaceful sleep.
3. Encourages Better Sleep: When you sleep next to your partner, you may experience fewer disruptions during the night. Studies have shown that couples who sleep together often have more consistent sleep patterns, fall asleep faster, and sleep longer than those who sleep alone.
4. Promotes Emotional Bonding: Sleeping next to your partner can promote emotional bonding and help you feel more connected to one another. This can lead to a stronger, healthier relationship overall.
Sleeping next to your partner can be a positive and rewarding experience. It can bring you closer together, improve your sleep quality, and promote overall health and wellbeing.

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!
