The power of sleep

Sleeping is an important part of life but people usually don’t pay enough attention to it. Although most of us know that we should sleep about 8 hours a day only few follow this rule. It’s because we are not aware of the consequences of lack of sleep.

Studies say that getting the right amount of good sleep is crucial to our health and well-beeing. This is the moment when our brain recharges and our cells repair themselves which provides better concentration and performance during the day . Instead, a lack of sleep may cause depression, anxiety and even serious health problems like infertility, diabets and heart disease. The right amount of sleep is also essential when it comes to weight loss because research shows that people who sleep less than 7 hours a day are much more likely to be obese.

What’s important about sleep is also it’s quality.That’s why we should remove all the elecronic devices from the bedroom (to avoid electromagnetic waves), keep the bedroom quiet and dark and be active during the day(to fall asleep with ease). These tips together with 7-8 hours of sleep should make it easier to wake up and give us energy to meet new challenges.

Gibraltar

Today I would like to tell you something about one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been to - beautiful Gibraltar. This British Overseas Territory is located on the south coast of Iberian Peninsula and has only 6,7 km2. The landscape is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar (426m high) which offers a lot of tourist attractions. There is a huge st. Michael’s Cave with a concert hall inside, network of tunnels, suspension bridge, medieval fortification – Moorish Castle, nature reserve where wild macaques live and, above all, amazing view on Africa. You can get on the top of the rock with a cable car, in a small bus with a guide or on foot. At the foot of the mountain you can find more interesting places like beautiful beaches, Alameda Wildlife Park or a memorial of Władysław Sikorski on Europa Point. It’s also a big attraction just to cross the Gibraltar-Spain border what involves crossinga runway of Gibraltar’s airport.

Christmas presents

If you keep wondering what to give your family and friends as a present for Chistmas and you just can’t make up anything, I have something that may help you. I found few lists of most popular gifts from last years. As you can imagine they all look almost the same, which means that some presents are timeless and, problably, always welcome. So, on the top of the list, there are cosmetics and perfumes . If you are not sure which to choose than you can just take any of christmas sets, as they usually contain basic and useful products and, at the same time, look nice. On the second place there are: books , clothes , and sweets . The last position is the easiest solution and will work almost always; all you should do is to avoid popular allergens like nuts. It’s much more complicated in case of books and clothes which are very individual things. On the last place of most popular gifts there are: jewellery and money . And you, what would you like to ...

The Palm House

If you’d like to go for a walk or sit down in a park but low temperatures hardly let you go out of the house, remember that in Poznań there is a palm house, incredible place where you can feel like in tropical jungle for very cheap money. You will find there not only a wide variety of plants impossible to be seen in our climate like for example cactuses or palms, but also parrots and fish. The building is divided in few rooms due to different types of plants and different temperatures that they need. There is also an exhibition of exotic fruits and a pavilion with aquariums. If you’re not a big fan of nature you can just sit down on one of the benches or in a cosy coffee bar, enjoy warmth of this place, relax and forget, at least for the moment, about jackets, gloves and winter that is coming very soon.
