Jenny and John Smith are exhausted. They have long given up trying to achieve eight hours sleep a night and the effects are starting to show.
Jenny tried to comb her hair with a toothbrush yesterday and John? Well he keeps pouring coffee and orange juice into his cereal instead of milk.
So what is prompting this sleep-deprived state and strange behaviour? After just one night at their humble Brighton abode the problem is clear – randy neighbours.
Jenny and John – who have asked for their names to be changed for the sake of this piece – are being kept awake as their neighbours indulge in long, passionate and amazing love making.
“You can forgive it once as everyone deserves a great sex life, but now we just want to have a good night’s sleep” says John.
“We’ve tried everything – covering our heads with the pillow, listening to music and even speaking to the couple next door about it but it has not made the slightest bit of difference. They just get completely lost in each other and we are left to pay the price.”
This is not the first time that a plight similar to that of the Smiths has caught media attention. In fact, a new survey from Durex has revealed at least 1 in 2 Brits are kept awake by neighbours or housemates having sex . . . but that is set to change.
Durex, the enablers of great sex, has stepped up to shoulder some of the responsibility, with the world’s leading sexual health brand set to launch the world’s first sex-noise cancelling headphones.
Like other noise-cancelling headphones, Bangs by Durex, cancel any unwanted audio, but unlike other headphones, Bangs have been tuned to react specifically to frequencies associated with sex noises.
Ben Smith, senior brand manager at Durex says: “At Durex, we celebrate great sex. When sex is great, it is mind-blowing, makes you smile all the time and brings you closer to your partner . . . however as our survey reveals, while you might be smiling, your poor neighbours and housemates might be struggling to get their eight hours. Our products enable great sex, and now our sex-noise cancelling headphones enable great sleep too.”
