Having a poor night’s sleep?

We caught up with Dr Angela Campbell, PhD Manager of the WellSleep Centre, University of Otago, Wellington and she provided us with some insights into the most common symptoms women might experience whilst going through menopause, which are insomnia, hot flushes, snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea. Dr Campbell states, “these are all common side effects of menopause and can affect up to 70% of women.” So, if you’re experiencing sleepless nights and suddenly disturbing your partner with this new-found snoring, you’re certainly not alone.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, you might be interested to learn that Patney offer an effective, non-invasive and temperature neutral solution that can assist with controlling your snoring - the Patney sleep positioner, has undergone independent validation testing by the WellSleep Centre, Otago University.

Have you ever lived, or do you live in the Glenbervie, Kiripaka or Whareora areas? If so, you undoubtedly have some memories worth sharing.
These areas are steeped in history, and we are losing the personal memories of a different time as people move away or pass on.
The young people of today have very little idea of how life was even twenty years ago. Let’s preserve those memories now, so future generations can be as fascinated as we are about our grand and great grandparents’ time.
