Website Offers $2,000 For ‘DreamJob' - 5 nights of Sleeping
By Ben Hooper
Feb. 18 (UPI) -
- A health advice website is offer- ing $2,000 for a "dream job" that involves actual dreams: getting paid to sleep for five nights in dif- ferent locations, including a five- star resort.
Sleep Standards, a website dedi- cated to dispens- ing sleep health advice and reviews of sleep- aid products, said it is seeking a candidate to help the site "learn more about the influence of envi-
ronmental factors on the quality of sleep."
The chosen per- son will spend five nights sleep- ing in different environments, including one night in a five- star luxury resort. All expenses will be paid by the website and the chosen candidate will receive $2,000 for their snoozing servic- es.
"If we choose you, we will send you to a new sleep environ- ment every night. In each of those
environments, we will carefully adjust several environmental factors that we think might improve your sleep quality," the website said.
The posting said the candidate will be asked to rate each sleeping environment on a scale of 1 to 10 and write a detailed report of each sleeping experience.
Applications are being accepted on the website through March 30

Feb. 24 (UPI) -- A Canadian snow maze that was certified as the world's largest
by Guinness World Records is now almost twice as large to allow for social distanc- ing, the owners said.
The snow maze, at outdoor enter- tainment venue A Maze in Corn in
St.
Adolphe, Manitoba, was certified as the world's largest in 2019, when
it covered an area of 30,021 square feet and 110 square inch- es.
Angie Masse, co- owner of A Maze in Corn, said this year's snow maze covers an area of about 57,600 square feet to allow for
social distancing.
"With COVID and everything, we wanted to make it bigger. And so this year, it's about 91% bigger than the world's largest title that we hold now," Masse told Global News.
Masse said the maze took about six weeks to build.
