Het jy geweet die koste van ‘n begrafnis in Suid-Afrika kan wissel van R12 000 tot R60 000, afhangende van jou keuses? Daarom sal ‘n begrafnisplan van R10 000 skaars die behoeftes van ‘n begrafnis dek – wat meebring dat sommige families reëlings moet tref om die kostes te dek.

Wake up call: How too little sleep undermines your health and productivity

Not getting the right amount of shut-eye increases our risk of developing a host of physical and mental health disorders, not to mention the impact it has on our daily life and productivity.

Abdurahmaan Kenny, Neuroscience

Product Manager

for Pharma Dynamics says sleep deprivation is a growing problem.

“Insufficient sleep has been linked to 7 of the 15 leading causes of death in the US, including cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, accidents, diabetes, and hypertension. Those that sleep less than 6 hours a night also tend to struggle with weight issues, having a body-mass index (BMI) of 12% greater than those who sleep between 7 and 9 hours.”

He points out that over time chronic sleep deprivation may also lead to insomnia. When an individual consistently experiences insufficient sleep over a prolonged period, it can disrupt the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle and the regulation of sleep hormones such as melatonin. This disruption can result in difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep or getting restorative sleep, which are characteristics of insomnia.

“Long-term sleep deprivation can affect various bodily functions, impacting cognitive abilities, mood and overall health. It can lead to increased stress, irritability, difficulty concentrating, memory issues, depression and anxiety, as well as a weakened immune system. Over time, these effects can contribute to the development or exacerbation of insomnia.”

Other critical factors that contribute to insomnia, include stressors like grief, chronic pain, substance abuse, medical comorbidities, impaired social relationships, lower socioeconomic status, old age and being female. Insomnia is more common in women because of hormonal fluctuations, a predisposition to depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as circadian rhythm disorders, and coexisting medical problems.

Insomnia affects an estimated 1 in 4 adults at some point in their lives with 10-15% experiencing chronic insomnia and a further 25-35% reporting occasional insomnia. Yet, despite the high incidence, insomnia is still largely underdiagnosed

and undertreated. Common factors that hinder the diagnosis of insomnia and the management thereof is the along with time-constrained doctor’s consultations, which often do not allow for enough questions about a patient’s overall well-being.

Kenny says addressing sleep deprivation early and adopting healthy sleep practices are crucial in preventing the development of chronic insomnia.

If you think you have insomnia, treating it typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, behavioural strategies, and, in some cases, medical intervention.

Kenny suggests the following approaches to manage and treat the condition:

• Establish a consistent sleep schedule: Maintain a regular sleep routine by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body’s internal clock.

• Create a relaxing bedtime routine: Develop pre-sleep rituals that signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. This might include drinking a cup of soothing herbal tea, like Rooibos, reading a book, taking a warm bath, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation or listening to calming music.

• Optimise your sleep environment: Ensure your bedroom is conducive to sleep. Keep the room cool, dark, and quiet. Invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows. Minimise electronic devices and screen time before bedtime as the blue light can disrupt your sleep.

• Limit stimulants and alcohol: Reduce or eliminate caffeine and nicotine, especially in the hours leading up to bedtime. While alcohol might make you feel drowsy initially, it can disrupt your sleep later in the night.

• Regular exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, but try to avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime as it can be stimulating. Exercise during the day can promote better sleep.

• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-I) CBT-I is a structured program me that targets behaviours and thoughts affecting sleep. It helps identify and replace negative thoughts and behaviours with positive ones to improve sleep.

• Mindfulness and relaxation techniques: Practices like mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation or guided imagery can calm the mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep.

• Limit daytime naps: If you must nap during the day, keep it short (20-30 minutes) and avoid late afternoon naps, as they can interfere with nighttime sleep.

• Seek professional help: In some cases, a doctor might prescribe short-term medication, such as a sedative-hypnotic. Hypnotics with a modified release (MR) formulation allows the active ingredient to be released at two different rates or time periods and works by slowing activity in the brain to help patients fall asleep and stay asleep. However, these medications should be used under medical supervision.

He says it’s important to remember that what works for one person might not work for another when it comes to treating a sleeping disorder like insomnia.

“Consistency and patience are crucial, as changes in sleep habits and improvements may take time. Consulting with a GP or sleep specialist can provide personalised guidance and treatment options suited to your specific needs.”

There are common varieties with white, pink, or red flowers, but many other shades too. The blooms can last up to three months and appear up to six times per year.

Aloe Vera

Chinese Evergreen

Dracaena

Dracaena Marginata or Madagascar Dragon tree has thin upright leaves with pink edging on a green center. Dracaena like to dry out a tad; water when the soil is dry to the touch.

Jade Plant

Peace Lily

Their creamy-white flowers appear in spring and sporadically throughout the year, given enough light. It should be noted that this plant contains calcium oxalate and is toxic to pets, so it should be kept out of reach of the masters of the house! Brown leaves is an indicative of too dry soil, although Peace Lilies can go happily with barely moist soil, and will not tolerate too wet soil at all.

Orchids

Orchids are classic and seasonal choices to bring your indoor winterscape to life. They are also among the best bathroom plants and you can quickly get to grips with orchid care.

Tradescantia

A Comprehensive Guide

for creating engaging short-form videos

For businesses ready to dive into the world of short-form videos, here’s a guide to creating content that resonates with potential customers:

1. First and most important, shoot in vertical format:

Maximise mobile engagementby adopting a vertical video format, ensuring your content is as immersive as possible for smartphone users.

2. Start Strong:

Capture your audience’s attention within the first 5 seconds with a compelling hook that encourages further viewing. A great approach is to position yourself outside your business, allowing potential clients to see its location, then walk through the front door. Have a staff member stand at the entrance, waving and welcoming viewers in as you film.

3. Showcase your product range:

Instead of filming all the products on display, rather send us high quality product images that can rotate in the video. This trend addresses the demand for quick information and aids in driving purchasing decisions.

Generate excitement and curiosity among your audience by showcasing sneak peeks of upcoming products through intriguing visuals and teasers. These short videos create a sense of anticipation, leaving viewers eager to learn more about what your brand has in store.

4. Behind the Scenes:

Share insights into your company’s inner workings, company culture, work processes from product creation to team dynamics, to humanise your brand and foster transparency.

5. Showcase Value:

Don’t just list benefits—demonstrate the tangible value your product or service brings to customers’ lives.

6. Quality Matters:

Despite their brief nature, prioritise high video and audio quality to enhance professionalism and build trust with your viewers.

7. Educate Your Audience:

Offer quick tutorials or how-to guides that not only inform, but also entertain, establishing your brand as a go-to resource.

8. Repurpose Content:

Efficiently extend your video content’s reach by repurposing existing material into new short-form pieces or ads.

9. Emphasise Authenticity:

Focus on creating content that highlights the uniqueness of your business and connects with your audience on a personal level.

10. Music and Sound Integration:

Enhance your videos with trending sounds or music to create a more engaging and memorable viewing experience. Keep in mind that royalty free music isn’t free to download so please make sure you read the license on each site for proper usage.
