Internship: Bengaluru start-up will pay interns ₹1 lakh stipend to sleep for 9 hours a day

A Bengaluru-based start-up has announced vacancies for interns who will get paid a handsome stipend of₹1 lakh but the job is to sleep for nine hours a day.

Wakefit Innovations, which sells mattresses, has announced 'Sleep Internship' where you sleep on the job for 9 hours at night and 7 days a week. The unique sleep internship runs for 100 nights.

"You could be part of our Sleep Interns Batch of 2020. Think you can avoid binging on your favourite shows every night and just sleep for 9 hours instead? Then you could be the ideal candidate we are looking for!," Wakefit says on its website.

Wakefit says that the successful candidate will display an ability to fall asleep just about anywhere – in traffic, in a meeting or even a noisy place like the bus stop. "This exciting role gives you the opportunity to keep your boring day job and to make money while you sleep at night," the start-up says.

The ideal candidate for the job is someone who can thrive in a slow paced environment, conceptualise and deliver effective strategies on how to get themselves and their team members to sleep deeper and longer. "Demonstrated affinity to cosy environments, napping, lazing and lounging will be a bonus."
