Fortunately, there are effective techniques to help us unwind and promote relaxation, paving the way for a restful slumber. Here are a few tips to consider:

1️⃣ Bedtime routine: Create a consistent routine with calming activities like reading, bathing, or gentle stretches. Avoid electronic devices due to their interference with sleep hormones.

2️⃣ Deep breathing & meditation: Practice slow, deep breaths in a quiet space with closed eyes. Start with a few minutes of meditation daily and increase gradually.

3️⃣ Physical activity: Engage in enjoyable exercise like walking, yoga, or sports. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days.

4️⃣ Sleep-friendly environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Use comfortable bedding, a supportive mattress, and remove stressors like work-related items or electronics.

5️⃣ Relaxation techniques: Try progressive muscle relaxation, aromatherapy, soothing music, or gentle yoga poses. Release tension and prepare for a peaceful sleep.

Remember, it takes time to find what works best for you. Be patient and kind to yourself. By prioritizing relaxation and incorporating these techniques, you can reduce stress, unwind, and wake up refreshed.
Sweet dreams! ✨

What are the best Treatments for cedar?

Treatments for cedar wood can be broadly placed into three groups: opaque, semi-transparent, transparent or untreated.
Cedar wood is pitch and resin-free, which means that finishes are held very well by the wood as long as they are applied before the weathering process has begun.

Generally, opaque treatments (like paints and solid-colour stains) offer higher protection at the expense of obscuring more of the wood’s natural appearance.
Treatments that are more transparent — like natural stains and water-repellent preservatives — usually offer more modest protection from the elements, but retain a greater amount of the timber’s natural beauty.

1. Opaque or solid-colour
A thorough coating or two of acrylic-based paint is by far the most protective of the finishes on offer. It will shield the timber from moisture and weathering, but will completely conceal the wood’s colour and grain — so make sure to choose a wood paint of your desired colour.
These are also solid-colour stain finishes, which provide an opaque finish whilst retaining some of the original texture. They offer very strong protection against the elements.
Paints and solid-colour finishes allow you to take full control of appearance, adding a bit of excitement, colour or charm to a finished cedar project — but they’re not for the indecisive!


2. Semi-transparent stains
If you’re not interested in an opaque finish, there are still many ways to keep your Cedar looking natural, whilst keeping it well-shielded. For this, a semi-transparent stain might be the ticket.
Depending on the product chosen, semi-transparent stains still offer up some interesting, subtle changes to the wood’s colour, pronouncing grains and knots — as well as affording great protection. Semi-transparent finishes can be oil-based or natural.
Oil-based protection penetrates deeper into the wood and usually provides a more drastic change of colour, giving a greater deal of protection from the elements.
Natural, water-based protection doesn't penetrate as deeply but still affords a good deal of protection, containing fungicides that inhibit the growth of mildew. They’re seen as more environmentally friendly.
There are many types of semi-transparent stains on the market.
Resene Woodsman Wood Oil Stain or Dryden Wood Oil Stain is a good example of a powerful, oil-based protection for cedar wood against weather and UV, available in a range of tints from virtually clear to charcoal. Whilst concealing some of the natural colours, a well-chosen finish like this can enhance the grain of your cedar.
A natural, water-based cedar wood stain — like Resene Woodsman waterborne Wood Oil Stain — will also keep the timber in good condition whilst providing a beautiful finish. A good oil or water-based protection typically lasts for 2 years up to first maintenance.

3. Transparent preservatives and oils
For a transparent finish with some modest protection, consider a coat of water-repellent preservative, or a bleaching oil. There are a range of products on the market.
Although these don’t provide good UV protection, this sort of cedar wood preservative will keep the wood’s warm tones for longer.
Bear in mind that, over time, the cedar will still weather to a grey colour, although this will happen more slowly and you’ll retain the wood’s beautiful, natural tones and patina.
