Beat the heat, while you sleep

It's that time of the year again — temperatures are creeping up, and we spotted our first shirtless market stall holder at the weekend; summer is just around the corner.

For those of us still refusing to crank up the a/c just yet, here is a handy little device that might help you get a more restful night's sleep.

It's a plastic pillow made from small tiles, laced together with strong elastic for comfort and support.

Lying on one (modeled here) is a bit like trying to fall asleep on a Scrabble board, but the breeze around the head region is a definite bonus.

Currently available at Tesco's for 7.4RMB.

Sweet dreams.
