A good night's sleep is essential for your physical and mental well-being. If you find yourself tossing and turning, try these tips to help you achieve the sleep of your dreams.

Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking, swimming, or yoga on most days of the week. Just avoid exercising too close to bedtime, as it may increase alertness.

Setting up a regular sleep schedule can work wonders for achieving restful sleep. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time every day, even on weekends. This will help regulate your body's internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally.

Electronic devices emit blue light that suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. Not to mention that texting, watching television or scrolling are all stimulating, which can keep your brain on alert. Avoid using electronic devices for at least an hour before bed and turn off the TV.

In the modern age there has always been a fruitful interchange between the visual arts and popular culture. And it flowed both ways. Part of the joy of things is recognizing the influences and spotting the links. This course looks at over 40 examples where this has happened, involving everything from the world of cartoons, wallpaper design, video production and back.

Check out this, and all of our other humanities and language courses on offer this Term at earthdiverse.org.nz...

*** INSTALLATION OF THE WEEK ***
This week's installation of the week is on a Shower with a small amount of clearance between the shower frame and the roof.
We have completed the installation on this shower by using a low blow Showerdome. These domes are designed specifically for showers with less clearance than required for a normal Showerdome.

Our regular dome requires a clearance of at least 150mm from frame to roof, and our low blow domes can be installed on showers which have a minimum of 60mm clearance. The main use of the low blow Showerdome has been for tiny homes.

We're always striving to find the best possible solutions.🚿

Do you have a small space above the shower that you would like a Showerdome for?

Send us a photo of your shower to info@showerdomewaikato.co.nz and we can let you know our recommendations for the best possible installation.

Are dirt bikes a problem in your area?

In Huntly west they've been ripping up parks, racing in the street - and sometimes with a toddler passenger, say frustrated residents.

One described the bikes as buzzing like wasps and said she wanted to get the fly spray out because "they’re annoying the hell out of me".
