NASA wants to pay you $18,000 to lie in bed for 70 days

NASA is looking for volunteers willing to lie in bed for 70 days and they’ll pay you $18,000 to take part in the sleep study.

The purpose of the study is to research the effects of long-term spaceflight on the human body when you're strapped in for weeks.

As part of its Flight Analog Research Unit (FARU), NASA maintains a dedicated bed-rest study facility at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. The facility is equipped with beds that can be adjusted into positions that reproduce the effects of different gravity levels on the human body.

During the 70 days, participants can read books, play on the computer, watch TV, even work, but you have to stay on that bed lying down.
