You can now earn £300 watching Love Island - and you won't even have to leave your bed

You may not be heading into the villa this summer, but you can still earn a bit of extra dosh as a Relaxation Researcher, earning a cool £300 to watch the latest episode of Love Island.

In this newly advertised role, successful candidates will test out five popular evening relaxation methods, before submitting a full review of their wind-down routine.

Tasks will include watching Love Island, completing a minimum three-step skincare regime, and taking a soothing bath or shower.

Researchers will also be expected to listen to three different podcasts, including true crime, news, and comedy, snuggling up with a good book and cuppa, and completing a meditation exercise or yoga class, either through Spotify or YouTube.

In return, they will be well compensated with a £300 payment plus a set of Secret Linen Store pyjamas and bedding.

There are certainly worse jobs out there...

The role is being advertised by luxury bed linen and homeware retailer Secret Linen Store, with the ideal candidate being an individual who "loves to laze, is an expert in all things relaxation and is willing to be paid to wind down."

Completed reviews of each of the night-time routines should provide all important details on how relaxed the Relaxation Researcher felt after trying each one, and how well they ended up sleeping.

Molly Freshwater, Co-founder of Secret Linen Store, said: “As we continue to move towards a hybrid working way of life, the lines between work and home can become blurred.

"More and more people are working later into the evenings, meaning by the time you go to bed, your brain finds it hard to switch off, often going without a ‘wind down’ period before you head off to sleep.

“With this in mind, we’d love to give someone the opportunity to dedicate time in the evenings to relax, and to take on the important task of finding out the ultimate calming pre-bed routine.

"We know our pyjamas and bedding sets are perfect for getting the best night’s sleep, but it’s so important to take time out in the evening (if you can!) to really switch off and help get you in the perfect relaxed state for bed. Hopefully, the findings of the research will help people do just that.”

Applications are now open, with a closing date of 3rd July 2022. Proudly lazy applicants just need to fill in the application form in good time, explaining why exactly they deserve cash to simply chill out.
