Company Sleep Junkie is looking for insomniacs to test "sleep apps, pillows, eye masks and bedding products." Over the course of two months, the selected candidate will test eight different products, each for a week. Then he will have to tell (by filling out a special form) whether he noticed a difference in the quality and quantity of his sleep.

Completing each review form will take approximately one hour, and the selected tester will be paid a total of $2000, according to the company. Sleep Junkie says it will then use your data to "create a guide for people with sleep problems around the world."

To participate in the selection, you need fill out a short questionnaire and send a 150-word text explaining why you think you're perfect for the role. According to the job description, candidates must have sleep problems - people with sound sleep should not apply for the position.

"We believe everyone has the right and the ability to achieve a good night's sleep," said Dorothy Chambers, sleep expert at Sleep Junkie. — We hope that by hiring a person with a poor sleep history, we can help them find peace at night while they help us gather useful information that we can share with others."

Given the ongoing spread of Covid, the timing for this position could be perfect: A February 2021 analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that 40% of people have suffered from sleep problems since the pandemic began.

But beware: testing new products can potentially impair your sleep and lead to painful side effects during your waking hours. For example, using pillows of suboptimal height or thickness can cause neck and back pain.
