In the inspiring words of the sunflower, "Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun," or Kahlil Gibran's beautiful reminder, "Wherever life plants you, blooms with grace," we see a powerful metaphor for embracing positivity and growth. Just like sunflowers that instinctively follow the sun, we too can strive to seek out the light in our lives. Our dedicated gardener, William, along with our wonderful resident, Berta, has been nurturing our sunflower seeds, ensuring they receive the care they need until they blossom into stunning flowers. This truly reflects our commitment to looking after our residents and helping them thrive! πŸ¦’πŸ¦“

Sleep is as important for our health as our diets and exercise, yet we often cut it short.

Follow these 5 tips to get the most out of it:
1. Whilst the length of sleep is important (aim for 7-9 hrs a night) but quality of sleep is important too. Improve sleep quality by removing distractions from your bedroom, avoiding caffeine late in the day.
2. Sleep consistency is important - going to bed and waking up at the same time each day (even on weekends or kids’ holidays) can improve how restorative your sleep is. Keep lie-ins less than 1 hour.
3. Stop snoozing! Each time you fall back to sleep, you initiate a new sleep cycle which takes 90 mins to complete, so breaking it by another alarm 10 mins later is added stress on your body
4. Keep your bedroom cool - your body needs to drop its temperature to initiate and maintain sleep
5. Screen time before bed has similar effects to drinking coffee on the brain. Avoid screens and blue light in the hour before sleep.

This year I’ve partnered with Bupa to bring you evidence based health information, that you can trust - for more sleep tips, check out Bupa’s website and the Bupa Health YouTube channel!
