Get an office sleep pod
How often do you find yourself
wishing you could crawl under your
desk for a quick power nap? Well,
your wish might soon become a reality
with the launch of Sleep Pods.
Devised by MetroNap, these
space-age pods will be available to
rent in offices from £299 a month.
With your feet in the air to improve
circulation, you can set a timer, descend
into darkness and block out the whir of
the photocopier with the built-in
speakers pumping ambient music.

And it’s not just a good hangover cure.
A sleep study commissioned by The
Vitality Show (18-21 March) has revealed
that 70% of all women in their 30s rarely
get six hours sleep a night – and on
average 151 minutes per day are lost in
productivity due to fatigue. But – and
“People who siesta for
20-30 minutes each day
are 30% less likely to
suffer from heart disease”
New miracle cream depuffs skin
French marine skincare brand, Biotherm, has launched the latest
in skincare technology, Aquasource. In store now, the cream has
a super-cooling technology that lowers the skin’s temperature by
two degrees, giving a whole new way to banish the puffy-faced look
that comes from a bad night’s sleep. The product even calms red
blotches in an emergency. Sign us up.
Available from Boots nationwide, £29.50; boots.com

WASN’T GOING WELL…
here’s where the Sleep Pod comes in
– according to new research by the
University of California, napping for 90
minutes after lunch can improve your
productivity by up to 10%.
That’s not the only benefit. Studies
have shown that people who siesta for
20-30 minutes are 30% less likely to
suffer from heart disease, as sleep
lowers stress on the heart. Now you just
need to get your manager on board.

GOING OUT
Buenos
Aires
comes
to Leeds
Award-winning Argentinean
steak restaurant, Gaucho,
will be wowing Leeds next
week when it opens its most
northern branch on 22
March. Famed equally for its
legendary meat board (so
you can pick your cut of
steak) as for its cellars of
rare Malbec wines and its
celebrity clientele, Gaucho’s
launch is just one of many
high-profile restaurant
openings this month.
Foodies can also look
forward to the much
anticipated re-opening of
Gordon Ramsay’s Pétrus in
London’s Belgravia on 29
March, Mark Hix’s new
champagne bar in
Selfridges (London)
opening this week and the
return of French master
Bruno Loubet with Bistro
Bruno Loubet at the Zetter
Hotel, Clerkenwell, east
London. So it’s time to put
away the recipe books and
let someone else do the
washing up.
