As we come up to the festive season, a lot of us want to shop online and look for good bargains 🛍️🛒

Here’s a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
💸If it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
💸If it’s being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they can’t provide it, that’s a red flag.
💸Check the seller’s profile, is it new or relatively blank?
💸If you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebody’s home, take someone with you and let someone else know where you’re going and when.
💸Be especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.

Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, you’re aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz

Today, we're delving into the exciting world of snoozing and discussing a topic near and dear to our hearts: investing in better sleep.

We all know that catching those Zzz's is crucial for our overall well-being, but just how much should we be investing to enhance our sleep habits?


Let's dive in and find out!

Understanding the Value of Quality Sleep
Before we break down the dollars and cents of sleep investments, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible benefits of a good night's rest.

Quality sleep isn't just about feeling refreshed in the morning; it's about setting the stage for a healthier, happier life.

From sharpening our memory to reducing stress and even lowering the risk of chronic diseases, the benefits of quality sleep are truly endless.

Exploring Different Sleep Improvement Strategies
Now that we understand the importance of quality sleep let's explore some strategies for enhancing our sleep habits.

From simple lifestyle changes to cutting-edge sleep technology, there's a wide range of options to suit every budget and preference.

1. Lifestyle Changes for Better Sleep
Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective.

By making small adjustments to our daily routines, we can significantly improve the quality of our sleep.

Try cutting back on screen time before bed, establishing a consistent sleep schedule, and creating a relaxing bedtime routine to signal your body that it's time to wind down.

2. Cost-Effective Sleep Aids
If you're looking for a little extra help catching those Zzz's, there are plenty of cost-effective sleep aids available.

From herbal supplements to soothing white noise machines, these budget-friendly options can help you drift off to dreamland without breaking the bank.

3. Investing in Sleep Technology
For those who are willing to splurge a bit more on their sleep habits, investing in advanced sleep technology can be a game-changer.

Smart mattresses, sleep trackers, and adjustable bed frames are just a few examples of the high-tech gadgets available to help you optimise your sleep environment and improve your overall sleep quality.

Making Smart Investments in Your Sleep Health
When it comes to investing in better sleep, it's essential to weigh the costs against the potential benefits.

While it may be tempting to opt for the cheapest option available, investing in quality sleep is an investment in your long-term health and well-being.

By considering the economic, emotional, and health-related impacts of poor sleep, you can make informed decisions that will pay off in the long run.

Sweet Dreams and Sound Investments
The value of quality sleep cannot be overstated.

By investing in better sleep habits, you're not just improving your nights – you're investing in a healthier, happier future.

Whether you're making simple lifestyle changes or splurging on the latest sleep technology, Beds4U is here to support you every step of the way.

Visit our website today to explore our wide range of beds, mattresses, and furniture and take the first step towards a better night's sleep.

Sweet dreams, sleep seekers!

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

I have just used it 2x days ago and it makes lovely roast potatoes. Everything is in working order. I've just updated it with a new one, as the plastic is getting brittle. A piece of the middle knob broke- so I put tape around it for support- it does NOT affect function of oven. The cord was taped when I first got it- as previous person might have had it leaning against oven when hot. The outer oven does get hot when in use. The inside is scraped from lots of use- but "nothing flakes off"- it is just wear and tear from years of use. It comes with it's original tray. It's been totally reliable. Collection is in Beachhaven. You can contact me via my phone, please? Vera 021 1109 155

Plastic pickup with bonus battery on Takapuna Beach

Bryson from Hillcrest

Short evening pickup run included a swelling lithium battery pack from a drone - circled in red. Found it on the sea wall, so someone was thoughtful enough not to put in the nearby rubbish bin.
