Company on hunt for 'sleep executive' who gets paid up to £24k to nap

We have officially found the dream job and, believe it or not, it's currently being advertised with an interiors company.

Hilarys, home interiors specialists, are on the hunt for a new "sleep executive" to take part in an experiment testing how light and sound affects sleep quality.

Various factors can prevent you from achieving the minimum recommended seven hours sleep and the team are on the hunt for the perfect candidate to be paid to get some shut-eye. 

The lucky person who bags the job will head to Hillarys offices in Nottingham where a control area will be set-up for the new sleep executive.

They will be asked to wear a sleep monitoring device that determines how different conditions affect their quality of sleep. Different sleeping simulations will include the use of blackout curtains and various light and sound conditions.

When you wake, you will fill out a questionnaire so the Hillarys team can investigate the results and the best part is you will get a salary of £24k pro-rota...just to take a nap.

How to apply?

To fill out the online application form and for further information about the role, you can visit Hilarys website here 

Applications close at 11:59pm on the 9 April 2020.

Lucy Askew, interiors expert at Hilarys, said: " What a great way to not only test out our blackout products, but to also see the way light and sound affect sleep quality.

"Sleep is so important, and many might not appreciate how even a slither of light can disrupt your much-need seven hours. We’re looking forward to getting the new sleep executive on board and seeing the findings of this experiment."
