The heatwave is causing Brits to lose hours of sleep as temperature continue to soar.
For many parts of the UK, the past week has been a blur of soaring temperatures, sleepless nights and sweltering commutes.
And the worst news? It's only just started as temperatures are predicted to reach record highs across Southern England including London where a whopping 40°C is expected.
One of the elements of daily life affected by the heatwave is our sleep, with thousands of people across Britain struggling to keep cool at nighttime.
Even people who usually sleep well have been struggling to drift off in the hot weather, and at the moment a fan just isn't enough.
*Enter the latest must-buy from Home Bargains* - the Cooling Mat Pillow.
This nifty little slip is about to make sleeping during the heatwave so much easier, and it will only set you back £3.99.
Currently being sold across Home Bargains stores, the Cooling Mat Pillow is a 51cm x 33.5cm mat which contains self cooling gel.
All you need to do is pop the mat in the fridge an hour before bed time, and then simply slip it inside your pillow slip.
The properties in the mat mean that not only will it cool you down, it will also relieve "pain and discomfort from injuries or heat".
In other words, it's a dream on that sunburn as well!
