It sounds too good to be true, but believe us, it isn't - you can actually get paid to sleep.
Simba Sleep are offering three lucky snoozers the opportunity to try out their new Hybrid mattress, and get paid £600 for doing so.
And what's the best way of seeing whether a mattress is up to scratch? Sleeping on it as much as possible, of course.
Participants will have to sleep on the mattress over a four-week period and track their sleeping patterns - think you're up for this incredibly demanding challenge?
What's the catch?

There really isn't one! Not only will you receive £600 for your sleeping efforts, you'll also get to keep the Simba mattress and Fitbit Versa that's used to track your activity.
We’re searching for a Three Person “Dream Team” to help us to redefine the way the world sleeps.
Starting in August and lasting for four weeks, Simba will track your daytime activity and sleep using the Fitbit Versa. They'll ask you to make small changes to your lifestyle, and use the data to see if these changes improve the quality of your sleep.
They're calling it a month-long 'sleepsperience' - and it sounds like, literally, what dreams are made of.
How to apply

So what do you need to do nab a coveted spot on the sleep scheme of dreams?
To advertise the role, Simba have teamed up with Airtasker, an open marketplace for people to advertise and sign up to literally any kind of job.
Whether you've spilt your dinner down your top and need someone to grab you a new one, or you want someone to build your new Ikea bookcase, you can literally advertise any type of work on there. Similarly, if you've got a spare afternoon and you want to make a quick £20, this is the place to look.
Simply head to Simba's job posting, make an offer and let them know your funniest or most outrageous sleep story.
Maybe you’ve accidentally slept your way from Paddington to Penzance on the train, woken up on a beach in a far-flung land or napped through that vitally important morning meeting. Wherever you choose to snooze, we want to know about it.
The best stories will be chosen to fill the three spots! You've got until Wednesday 8th August to apply, so don't hang about!
