A dip in the birthrate could be on the way after Neil Stanley, former chairman of the Sleep Council, advised couples to “avoid physical contact” in bed to stay cool at night.

According to the kinsey report
ev’ry average man you know
much prefers his love-y dove-y to court
when the temperature is low,
but when the thermometer goes ‘way up
and the weather is sizzling hot,
mister pants for romance is not
’cause it’s too, too,
too darn hot!
I assume the people in north Islington will avoid the discomfort of sweaty sex by having a man in.
The Sleep Council is another saving that can be made then!
“The Sleep Council”.
Wasn’t that one of Paul Weller’s gigs?
Former chairman of the Sleep Council? I googled in the hope this meant the organisation had been closed down.
A vain hope; they are still raising awareness of the importance of a good night’s sleep, just in case there is a single human being in the whole fucking world who isn’t aware of this.
Bravo for the Cole Porter lyrics from BoM4
It’s going to last 4 days!
Work expands to fill the space available.
We have created a huge sub-class of parasites in our society, who depend on making up pointless advice and legislation for their living. It is, of course, a slippery slope – HSE starts with good intentions, and ends up reminding people to keep breathing to avoid suffocation…
Douglas Adams had a simple cure for this – the Golgafrincham Ark Fleet Ship B

How many Viagra does that take?
Doc: Tadalafil is your friend…
Not sure DocBud has any Welsh friends.
The “Sleep Council”?
Hey, Eunice! Wogs need ’em a committee to learn ’em how to sleep all proper like!
Evidently Neil Stanley has yet to discover the joys of really sweaty sex in an un-air conditioned apartment during the middle of hot and humid August day.
That alone classifies him as a complete dimwit.
Hot nights and no sex.
Result, presumably wet dreams
Doc, it is no longer permitted to use the brand name Viagra. You have to ask for it by its pharmacological name – mycoxaflopin.
Why is the birthrate high in hot countries then?

“Why is the birthrate high in hot countries then?”
I guess they have adapted to it.

Looks like the USians need to be told how to sleep too.
And while the Sleep Council is benignly funded by British bed manufacturers, the National Sleep Foundation is a front for the pharmaceutical industry, so it can push pills to the dwindling number of yanks not already addled by prescription drugs.
That explains why Brits are so restrained when they visit Magaluf in the summer!
1. These people really think the proclamations of ‘Top Men’ are listened to, don’t they?
2. Its 102F – the daily high here has been *well* above that for over a month now and will continue to be so for another 1.5 and has been so for several millennia – no dip in the birthrate here during the summer.
3. Its 2019. People have air conditioning.

My experience would indicate not. Evidence provided by the equatorial Brasiliana conducting a day long siesta in the bedroom & complaining bitterly about 34°C whilst I clean the barbecue on the sun-drenched terrace.

A sentence worthy of Richard Murphy: Devoid of fact, overly broad, overly judgmental, and therefore not particularly accurate or useful.
And say what you like about Yanks and the NSF, at least they haven’t lowered themselves to publicly offering up the sort of advice and guidance that would be obvious to anyone over the age of five. Then again, this guidance comes from the same lot that thinks it can lower the urban crime rate by keeping butter knifes out of the hands of its citizens.

I’d get a decent night’s sleep if my employer didn’t demand a 7am start 120 miles away.
Thanks for caring, Dennis.

That’s exactly what the NSF does.
I think your problem, Den old chap, is that at bottom, you are nowhere near as convinced about the marvellousness of the US of A and the horrors of wogland as you’d have us believe.
A drop in the birthrate after one fucking day (or not, as he implies)? What is he on, apart from a wasted salary?
