NASA (yes, the government space agency) is looking for people who will stay in bed for 90 days straight. You can't sleep the whole time though - only 8 hours a day. But you will remain in bed.
In exchange, they'll pay you $17,000 for your time.
To do this, you'll have to go to Houston, TX, you'll have to pass the Air Force physical for flight duty, and you'll have to be willing to be bored out of your skull for three long months.
How will this help NASA? Thanks to a head down tilt bed, they'll be able to study people as if they were in space without gravity for three months. Long term bed rest is an easy way to simulate the effects of weightlessness on the human body without actually sending people into space.
So if you want to be a guinea pig for NASA, sign up at their website.
