British swimmers are said to be both delighted and relieved after it was announced that they will finally be provided with sleep for the first time.

The Amateur Swimming Association of Swimming Federations of Great British Swimming (ASASFGBS) has signed a sponsorship agreement with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) for an undisclosed fee, making them the Official Sleep Provider for British Swimming.

‘As Official Sleep Provider we hope that they will provide our athletes, staff and club members with the quality rest that they need to perform to their best.’ said Katie Brazier, Director of Sponsorship at the ASASFGBS.

‘I am so grateful, what would we have done without an official sleep provider?  I can’t go without sleep any longer!’ asked one unnamed swimmer through clenched teeth and with bloodshot eyes.
