Who is a Professional Sleeper?

Quite simply, a professional sleeper is someone who gets paid to sleep. They generally do this as part of scientific research where scientists analyse their sleep patterns or to evaluate the quality of various sleep-related products.

If you'll be a profesional sleeper, you'll be expected to:

- test mattresses, pillows and quilts,- write detailed reports on comfort, room lighting, feelings and noise disruption, - occasionally take sleep aids that will help you fall asleep for medical trials, - take sleeping pills to remain still for art exhibitions.

In order to succeed in this exciting career path, you’ll need:

- the ability to sleep in new surroundings, away from home for long periods of time,- the ability to sleep with wires attached to you, knowing that people will be watching you, - good overall health and fitness, - excellent communication skills, - the ability to write compelling and interesting reports, - good observational skills, - a strong character, - strong organisational skills.

Cons

Pros

- you’ll get paid to sleep,- you’ll get to learn more about your own sleeping patterns, - you’ll receive medical treatment for any problems - detected studies aren’t continuous and if you walk out midway, you still get paid for the days you participated in the study - if you’re a mattress tester, you’ll get to stay in luxury hotels and enjoy five-star treatment – for free!

- you’ll need to make some lifestyle changes – for example, you won’t be allowed caffeine, alcohol, vitamins, etc or you’ll be asked to drink/eat certain things as part of the study, - you may spend a long time indoors and will begin to feel out of touch with the outside world, - you’ll spend long periods of time away from family and friends, - you won’t have a regular source of income, - you may have to wait up to a month to be allowed to participate in another test.
