A newborn baby causes a loss of 400-750 hours of sleep for parents in the first year.

The world's greatest day!  Got a hangover or is your bed just too comfortable to leave? (sounds like you've been buying from us!)  You need a duvet day - a paid day's work in which the employee gets to stay at home tucked up in bed for relaxations sake.  Introduced in the USA it has been taken up by many employers around the world.  It differs from Holiday allowance in that no prior notice is needed.

Not every person can see colourful dreams.  Experts say that only 80% of people can see colour when dreaming, the rest see dreams in black and white.

A double duvet is a square!  For years I have struggled to understand which end of the duvet goes into the cover which way, until I looked at the measurements - 200cm x 200cm - it's a square, any end can go in any way - revelation!

We cannot dream while snoring.

Seventeen hours of being awake leads to a decrease in performance equivalent to a blood alcohol-level of 0.05% (2 glasses of wine) and after five nights of partial sleep deprivation, three drinks will have the same effect on your body as six would when you've had a good night's sleep.

The extra hour of sleep we allow ourselves when the clocks turn back at the end of daylight saving time coincides with a fall in the number of road accidents according to research.

Toddlers do not involve themselves in their own dream storylines.  They do not appear in their dreams until they get a little older.

Yawning can be caused simply by looking at an image of someone yawning, or even seeing the word 'yawn' (uh oh, I just did it, did you?  Sorry!)
