Do you have the habit of sleeping for long hours? If you are this type of person you might be in for a great surprise from a Bengaluru-based start-up. The online sleep solutions company Wakefit.co has come up with a dream opportunity for sleeping enthusiasts and are willing to pay them Rs 1 lakh after the end of the internship.

Yes, you read it right and no kidding. One needs to be really serious in their sleeping time without interruption and if you can clear all the qualifiers, then the big amount is yours.

‘Wakefit Sleep Internship’ is only for interested candidates, who are willing to showcase their sleeping skills for as many as 9 hours every night, for a period of 100 days.

As part of this internship, shortlisted ones can work from home and sleep on the finest of mattresses, which will be provided by Wakefit. The company, including the mattress, will be offering their ‘Sleep Interns’ with a fitness and sleep tracker and regular counselling sessions from sleep experts. Well, this is beside the Rs 1 lakh stipend that the interns can take home after the end of the 100 days.

“As a sleep solutions company, our biggest motivation is to inspire people to sleep better. As we continue to live life in the fast lane, sleep is, unfortunately, becoming a common casualty, adversely affecting our health, productivity and quality of life. The Sleep Internship initiative aims to bring back the focus on sleep health by celebrating and applauding people who obsess about sleeping well,” Chaitanya Ramalingegowda, Director and Co-founder, Wakefit.co said, while commenting on the sleep internship.

He added, “We are looking to recruit the best sleepers in the country who are willing to go to any lengths to make sleep a priority in their lives. This initiative is another step towards making sleep an integral part of maintaining work-life balance in our lives.”

This is indeed a dream job for the youths across the nation but there will still be a round of interviews to hire five-eight lucky winners, who would be perfect ones for the job. However, any kind of absenteeism from sleeping diligently or laziness in going to bed on time or excessive use of laptops during the time of the internship will be highly frowned upon, as per the company.

Wakefit was founded in March 2016 by Ankit Garg and Chaitanya Ramalingegowda. It is a research and innovation-driven sleep solutions company. Their product portfolio includes mattresses, pillows, bed frames, mattress protector, comforter, neck pillows.
