How to start the day to sleep better

Jay from Beds4U Glenfield

However, did you know that its numerous advantages also include a good night's sleep? The necessity of a decent breakfast in the book 'Tired but Wired,' mentions the need of vital nutrients and, most significantly, a sense of well-being. For a good night's sleep, the book recommends eating eight almonds and two dates within 30 minutes of waking up.

These power packed foods are supposed to help produce the important hormone melatonin that helps you sleep better at night. A handful of nuts, followed by fruits, aids in metabolism and blood sugar stabilisation. Of course, the key to getting the best outcomes is to keep to a schedule and a routine as much as possible.

However, if you're having trouble getting a good night's sleep, our blog is highly recommended, since it contains some useful advice on how to sleep without feeling restless or worried.

Stress tends to build up during the day. When it's time to go to bed, your mind is probably racing, and you're probably thinking about tomorrow's to-do list while trying to keep track of everything.

You may shift your focus away from your current situation by immersing yourself in a good book. According to one study, reading for six minutes can reduce stress by up to 68 percent.

Please leave a comment with your book recommendations or all-time favourite picks to help our community get a good night's sleep.

My favourite pass-time is foraging and creating botanical and floral designs, having studied floral art and home styling in Melbourne a few years back. Presentation is key when selling a home and touches of fresh florals or mix of trendy dried & preserved floral wall art breathe life and maximise presentation. One of the designs and styling put together for a Milford property.

Kia ora neighbours. A “quick thinking” member of the public saved a toddler from a near-drowning incident at Albany Stadium Pool on Sunday has been thanked by Auckland Council.

Daniel Hendy, the father of a 2-year-old boy, had been at the pool with his son for an hour when he noticed an 18-month-old under the water in what he described as “a freak, horrible situation”.

“...I quickly knew something was wrong, and I sprinted over,” he said.

Hendy was about 5m away when he “stormed” over to pull the child from under the lane rope.

“Staff came over, rolled him over and started trying to resuscitate him, I could feel his belly was full of water.”

The child was revived and taken to hospital in an ambulance.

Dave Stewart, head of active recreation at Auckland Council, thanks Hendy for his quick thinking and crucial response to the situation.
