Let’s be honest — most of us treat sleep like a bonus round instead of the main event. But here’s the thing: quality sleep isn’t just rest… it’s your body’s nightly recharge!
Getting a solid 7–8 hours can boost your mood, sharpen your mind, strengthen your immune system, and keep those stress levels in check. The best part? You don’t need a fancy trick — just a cozy bed, a calm mind, and a routine your body can count on.
So tonight, skip the endless scroll, fluff those pillows, and give yourself the gift of real rest. Because a good night’s sleep isn’t a luxury, neighbours — it’s a lifestyle.

Not only does this pollute the water in the creek but Pukeko & their chicks as well Ducks with their ducklings were eating it and this is how they become very ill with Botulisum & this is a death sentence for them as Birdcare Aotearoa no longer take in or treat sick ducks anymore & the majority of vets only offer euthanasia.
If you want to dump you moldy bread at least put in the bin at parks and reserves, don't throw it on the ground or in the water where animals can eat it !!!
