Sleeping is something we all do so why not make some extra cash while doing it! There's a website that is looking for someone to sleep while researchers observe. Dream job!

SleepStandards.com is offering $2000 someone just to sleep. The researchers want to study how environmental factors influence sleep quality. The person selected will spend five nights in different locations, including a five-star resort. Fancy!

According to a recent study, last year was the worst ever for sleep. Of course, that totally makes sense since that's when the pandemic began.n

I think I'd need all the locations before committing to this job. I'm in for a five-star resort, but I wouldn't get much sleep if they put me in a college dorm room on a Saturday night! LOL!  I also snore so I'm thinking that would be a factor in how I sleep through the night.  Of course, sleep is something I don't get enough of doing mornings. That 3 AM alarm can be hurtful some days!

If you're  interested in taking part in the study, you must apply online by March 31st.  Details are here.
