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.

I have lived here for over 23 years, married here, had kids here, they studied here, now work here like me and my wife.
I love that we have one of the most diverse residents in Auckland
I love the fact that you can go and enjoy nature in 1 of the 220 parks in our area.
I feel welcomed when people say good day on the street and smile without prejudice
I feel connected when we come together as a community to help one another out during storms, sharing food parcels during lockdown, planting spoons in kindy, helping families who have lost everything due to fire or other unavoidable circumstances.

That is why I #LoveHendersonMassey
