Going to bed with the weather as scorching as it has been is not fun. Windows open, covers off, fan on and the baggiest pyjamas you can find and it’s still. too. hot.
As a result, many shoppers have been struggling after a lack of sleep, battling headaches and a fatigue-induced grump - not that I’m speaking from experience. However, Amazon customers have hailed a £6.50 product a ‘godsend’, with one even saying it’s salvaged her relationship.

The executive’s last day at the business is Wednesday (Aug. 31), though her departure is understood to have been in the works for some time.
