UNIVERSITY students in the USA are being offered the opportunity to participate in some unique sleep therapy, with bedding supplier Mattress Firm inviting applications for its new "Snoozeterns" - also known as the company's in-house bed testers.
"Purusing a degree in catching Z's? Would you rather carry a pillowcase instead of a briefcase?" the job description reads.
"This summer you can snag the internship of your dreams."
The successful Snoozeterns will be required to "test the optimal head and foot positions on our selection of adjustable bases for Netflix binging, Instagram stalking *ahem* posting, reading, typing, eating...really anything that would be better in bed".
It's more than just a publicity stunt, with the applicants paid for 30 hours per week and also required to create social media content about their experience.
Researchers in the UK have made the astonishing finding that it is possible to enjoy a cup of tea without a spoonful of sugar.

The study was unveiled at the European Congress on Obesity in Glasgow, with authors saying a larger trial was needed to confirm their conclusions.
