While some individuals have no trouble going asleep at night, others find it difficult. Those who suffer from chronic insomnia or who have difficulty falling asleep sometimes may benefit from the following exercise.
Yoga Nidra
Most people already know that yoga and meditation promote serenity and awareness, but many are unaware that they can also encourage a healthy sleep pattern. Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a type of guided meditation that is done while laying still in savasana or similar comfortable reclined position.
Revamp Your Bed
Research proves sleeping on a mattress that is too soft or too firm can lead to muscular discomfort, causing wakefulness during the night. Using an old pillow or one that is the wrong firmness or shape for your preferred sleep position can have a similar effect. If you find that you cannot get comfortable in your bed or wake up often throughout the night, replacing your pillow or mattress could help.
Clean Your Bedroom
Because there is a link between a crowded bedroom and a cluttered mind, it stands to reason that sleeping in a tidy bedroom can enhance sleep and minimize racing thoughts. Organizing and tidying your room can help you relax at the end of the day to snuggle into a beautifully made bed.

The replacement bridge has been built higher and designed without steps, so it can be used more easily by bikes, prams and scooters than the old bridge. This is a great, safe connection for students to get to Birkenhead College, Birkdale Intermediate and Beach Haven Primary.
The old bridge is still there for now and can be used until the new one opens. The comparison is like night and day!

Would require a handy person to put together, wood is in dismantled in great condition. Not all the metal work (was sliding on metal runners) are accounted for so maybe suitable for being a hinged wardrobe. Also could be two seperate wardrobes
Measurements are:
Wardrobe doors x2 height 235cm x 150 cm width each
3 deep drawers horizontal length 94cm x 57 cm width
2 shallow drawers horizontal length 94cm x 57 cm
2 shelves 94cm x 57cm length
4 sides would be 150cm height x around 57cm horizontal length
No backing, comes with metal runners etc if you want to use
Selling due to no space and the wood is in such good condition, but as said needs a handy person to put it together as they might like the doors to move differently
