To celebrate National Sleep in Day, leading pyjama designer Moon River reveals the nation’s favourite iconic pyjama movie moments

Bridget Jones is a top PJ moment

In celebration of National Sleep in Day on 25 October, Moon River pyjamas conducted a poll to find out what the nation voted as their favourite iconic pyjama movie moments. Tied in pole position as most memorable moment in pyjamas is the classic Bridget Jones singing into a hairbrush scene* and the ‘Pink Ladies’ sleepover at Sandy’s house in Grease. In at a close third position was the ‘Spoonful of Sugar’ scene in Mary Poppins.

The Sound of Music fans will be pleased to know that the ‘Favourite Things’ scene was voted fourth favourite with all the Von Trapp children singing in their pyjamas on Fraulein Maria’s bed. This was followed closely by a classic pyjama wearing Audrey Hepburn movie moment in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Results show that if you take a gorgeous female and put her in male pyjamas the viewers love it! Demi Moore has worn the movies leading man’s shirts to bed on a number of occasions. The famous Ghost pottery wheel scene was voted in at number six.

More iconic pyjama movie moments included the mattress surfing in The Princess Diaries 2, handsome Edward Lewis in Pretty Woman and the ‘A Hard Knock Life’ scene in Annie.

The nation’s final favourite iconic pyjama movie moments featured in a number of Britain’s iconic Carry On films. Oooh Matron!

Moon River and Max Brown design luxurious night and lounge wear. Ranging from sumptuously soft bath robes to cotton pyjamas and nightshirts to fluffy slippers and bed socks.

*Incidently Bridget Jones is wearing Moon River pyjamas in this famous scene!

FOCUS ENERGY SHOT TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DREADED FRESHER’S FLU

With thousands of students starting University this September they will have enough to deal with, without getting the dreaded Fresher’s Flu too. Every year thousands of students eagerly attend Fresher’s Week in order to meet fellow students, organise timetables, find out about clubs and societies, the hot spots of town and the best places to eat on the cheap! All this excitement and partying can hit unaware Fresher’s with the Fresher’s Flu, a kind of cold often experienced after the first couple of weeks of adjusting to Uni life. Weeks of consuming alcohol, a change of diet, busy schedules and meeting new people are all factors that can cause Fresher’s Flu, which can lay them low for at least a week. Symptoms include lack of energy, tiredness, fever, sore throat, headaches and general discomfort.

FOCUS, a new vitamin enriched energy shot could give students the boost they need to get them through Fresher’s Week and even help avoid getting the Fresher’s Flu. This handy pocket-size 60ml energy shot, rich in vitamins B6, B12 and B3 and high in anti-oxidants and amino acids, is formulated to improve physical and mental performance perfect for beating the Fresher’s Flu and staying alert during the first week of University life. Just pop one in their bag daily for when they crave that morning energy boost.



FOCUS has no sugar or carbohydrates and only four calories. It tastes refreshingly fruity, increases attention and gives greater focus – vital for impressing lecturers in class. FOCUS is a healthier alternative to caffeine and sugar laden energy drinks and provides a sustained energy boost of up to five hours, with no crash - so no worries about missing crucial day time TV viewing!

FOCUS Checklist of Surviving Fresher’s Week

Attend the Fresher’s Fair – Great chance to join clubs, meet fellow students, and get great freebies and NUS discounts!

Facebook Friends! Find your flat mates, join the Uni facebook group and create events – it’s a great way of making friends, sharing photos and finding out more about the Uni and the surrounding area.

Budget! Don’t spend all the student loan buying bar rounds in Fresher’s Week – The loan needs to last until next term. Set a weekly budget and try to stick to it. Things to include in your budget – any bills, shopping, printing costs and of course, socialising.

Take a FOCUS Energy Shot daily before morning lectures – the effects of FOCUS can be felt immediately and the energy boost from a single ‘shot’ lasts for up to five hours. Perfect timing to take students through their full day of studying.

FOCUS Energy Shots are available to buy from Holland and Barratt, Budgens, Londis, and online from Nutricentre (www.nutricentre.com) and Tree of Life (www.treeoflife.com).

FOCUS ENERGY SHOTS PROVE POPULAR WITH HEALTH AND WELLBEING RETAILERS

Holland and Barratt. Nutricentre. Budgens. Londis. Tree of Life.

Since its launch at The Natural and Organic Show, followed by a high octane, energetic sampling campaign focused around the London Marathon in April this year, the Vitamin-B derived 60ml FOCUS energy shot has proved extremely popular with the health and wellbeing retail market. FOCUS has provided retailers with a welcome healthier alternative to the sugar and caffeine-led shots and drinks already on the market, such as Relentless and Quick Energy.

The high-visibility launch campaign - FOCUS…NOW HAVE WE GOT YOUR ATTENTION? - involved promotional ‘HotShots’ handing out samples at London’s busiest commuter stations on the Friday and Monday of the Marathon weekend, having been cycled to their locations in unmissable black and orange FOCUS ‘wrapped’ PediCabs. The activity certainly caught the attention of Nutricentre (www.nutricentre.com) and Tree of Life (www.treeoflifeuk.com); first to sell FOCUS Energy Shots online.

Next to recognise the potential of the FOCUS Energy Shot were Holland and Barratt, Budgens and Londis.

Karen Nunn, Sales and Marketing Director, FOCUS explains: “FOCUS Energy Shots are produced and distributed in Britain and represent a healthier way to achieve an almost instant energy boost as it is formulated with a highly effective mix of Vitamin Bs and antioxidants.

Because our product has just four calories, no sugar, carbs, artificial colourants or flavourings, it is ideal for people watching their weight or slimming; the health conscious; fitness enthusiasts, or indeed anyone who needs a boost in concentration and energy.”

With a refreshing fruity taste, FOCUS is a super-concentrated energy shot that comes in a handy 60ml bottle. Rich in Vitamins B6, B12 and B3, FOCUS Energy Shots provide a healthier alternative to sugar and caffeine laden drinks. One shot provides a sustained boost in concentration, alertness and vitality for up to five hours through a combination of highly effective ingredients, formulated to improve physical and mental performance.
