Dream job alert...literally.
NASA may have the perfect job for you.
Working in a partnership with German Aerospace Centre (DLR), the space agency is paying women £14,000 ( €16,000) to stay in bed for two months.
NASA are looking for healthy women between the ages of 24 & 55 for their Artificial Gravity Bed Rest Study. The research looks at the effects of weightlessness on the human body.
Seems doable!
The study runs across 89 days: 15 days of familiarisation, 60 days of bed rest and then 14 days of rest and astronaut rehab to get you back to normal life after two months off.
If you take part in the study you'll live in a singe room where the temperature is kept constant. Everything you do will be done horizontally!
Don't worry about being bored as NASA will allow leisure activies like watching TV & reading.
The researchers say that you could use the 60 days of bed rest to learn a new skill (horizontally, of course). "The research team makes sure that you do not get up or lift your head," explains the study.
So, in reality you could spend two months lying in bed, watching Netflix and reading magazines.
NICE
How To Apply
NASA and DLR are paying €16,500 for people to do the study. The study is running from September to December this year.
Party season out the window but a nice pay day for doing nothing.
