We've all undoubtedly
contemplated what we'd do if we won the lottery. It's easy to reel
off a series of inconsequential material possessions you've always
fancied or hypothetically divvy out your winnings to family and
friends but how would life actually change for better or worse?
Having once again enjoyed
the benefits of Groupon's deals, I'm now certain nightly massages
with a trained masseuse are part of my lottery wish list. As someone
who has suffered bouts of insomnia on and off throughout the years,
the guarantee of regular nightly sleep would have an enormous impact
on my quality of life.
After sampling my first
hot stone massage this weekend, I was instructed to take my time
redressing before returning to the bustle of Otley's market square.
Suitably relaxed, I contemplated having the nap I so desperately
craved after a busy week functioning on minimal sleep.
Research suggests massage
helps to regulate sleep in babies so why not in adults too? There's
very little hard evidence, merely advice, but reflecting on how
contentedly drowsy Saturday's session made me feel, massage aiding
sleep seems like a no-brainer.
The consistently cheap
price of massages around South-East Asia is something I sorely miss
about being on the road. If massages were cheaper in the UK, I'd
undoubtedly treat myself more often – sports, therapeutic,
essential oils, Native American style hot stones warming up those
knotted muscles... All types of massage rock.
