Last week I shared tips and tricks to help you make your bedroom a lot more sleep-friendly. I was struck by two items: keeping the light natural and keeping the temperature neutral. I was struck by these two elements of keeping your bedroom sleep-friendly most especially because it’s almost winter and I thought I’d put together my first winter sleep tips installment.

Starting Small: Reel Gardening
April 29, 2013 by the Sleep Walker
I think I first heard of Reel gardening in 2010. It is such a genius idea that I found myself half wishing I’d come up with of that it had been invented in my 20s. Most you know that I tried several times to start a garden when I was living in the city but failed each time. That often I couldn’t even tend well to my herb pots that lived on my first flat’s window seal. If you have little space in your come (hello flat/city dwellers) ot that yu want to start small then I have just the thing for you.

It’s Earth Day!
April 22, 2013 by the Sleep Walker
Hello friends!
It’s the 22nd of April, which means it’s been a year since the last Earth day. It’s probably too late in the day to do big projects to commemorate but if you have any in mind save them for tomorrow or the weekend because Earth day is everyday. We should always be grateful to the Earth and replenish the environment whenever we can. Here are some projects you can still do today to celebrate Earth day and be planet earth friendly.

Sleeping Well At a Certain Age
April 15, 2013 by the Sleep Walker
There are a lot of euphemisms used to refer to old people. I’m old, I’ve lived quite a number of years and I’m proud of that. Of all the (sometimes ridiculous) euphemisms used to reference old people my favourite is “women of a certain age.” I like that one. That’s where this post’s title comes from. Today I’m bringing you some tips to help you sleep better when you’re a “certain age.”

Managing Your E-Waste
April 8, 2013 by the Sleep Walker
The growth in technology of the last couple of decades has meant a great deal of progress and moving forward. Technological advancements have helped big multi-national, multi-billion dollar corporations run as nearly completely paperless entities; technology has shrunk the world into a tiny global village and has made most of us global citizens. With the ever-changing and developing world of technology comes a downside.

When Earth Hour is Over
March 25, 2013 by the Sleep Walker
Saturday, as we all know, was Earth Hour day. The lovely Pop Princess penned a little post on that with a few ideas on what people could do between 8:30PM and 9:30PM while their lights were off. Not only did I enjoy the post but I also found it quite useful, which got me thinking about environment conservation and green efforts in general.

Midnight Snacking
March 18, 2013 by the Sleep Walker
The downside of going to bed at an early time, I’ve found, is the hunger that comes a bit after 2AM. It’s one of those things that cannot be helped. It will affect your sleep whether you try to ignore it or not.

Switching Off
March 4, 2013 by the Sleep Walker
In my home we have a small television in the den just off the kitchen. I bought it almost eight years ago when one of my friends suggested that the children who lived with me and those who stayed at the house on an interim basis would like it. I took her advice and bought a small 35CM colour TV.
