Scotsman article here

From the article:

The poll of 2,000 adults, commissioned by bedding giant Slumberdown, revealed the top 50 things most likely to send us to the land of nod include a hot bath, the sound of your children reading to you, luxury bedding and work meetings.

4. I know who he is, only through DU; and I rather wish I didn't!

5. Political Party Broadcasts eh?

At least you can take steps to avoid them; they appear in the TV schedule. As is Test Match Cricket... though it's the radio commentary that does it for me. Heck, a lot of the BBC Radio 4 / 4 Extra / World Service schedule can do that for me... though God forbid me if I'm not awake when Focus on Africa comes on.... that intro music is guaranteed to get me up... good job it's on at 10am my time.
