Quite a morning we had!

"QUITE A MORNING WE HAD. We cleared up the clothes that were just dumped in the car park at Sheppards Park.

We cleared up the clothes that were just dumped in the car park at Sheppards Park. We found it difficult to ignore, and we blame the influence of our kaumatua Whaea Jo who cannot tolerate a mess being left behind in our public places 😏 We also helped 2 cars that broke down on Rangatira Road only 1 meter away from each other. One of the drivers needed petrol ⛽ and couldn't walk due to ankle injury, so we drove her to the Caltex ourselves. A really nice lady who shares our passion for the volunteering lifestyle. We hope she finds her perfect new home here and we will see her again. "BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. NOT NEGOTIABLE. HOW WE DEAL WITH IT....IS" - Keanu Reeves.
We hope to bump into all of you again soon. Kia pai tōu rā ❤️ (Have a great day)"

Alcohol Effect on Sleep

Did you know that alcohol reduces rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
According to findings, the more you drink before bed, the more pronounced these effects. REM sleep happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. It's the stage of sleep when people dream, and it's thought to be restorative. Disruptions in REM sleep may cause daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, and rob you of needed ZZZs.
Alcohol may seem to be helping you to sleep, as it helps induce sleep, but overall it is more disruptive to sleep, particularly in the second half of the night if taken repeatedly.

Alcohol also suppresses breathing and can cause sleep apnea," or breathing pauses that occur throughout the night.

Studies prove that using alcohol as a sleeping aid can result in insomnia in the long run. However a drink or two here and there taken in a moderate quantity is of no harm.
