COULD this be the next big thing in pharmacy-based sleep therapy services?
Police in Missouri, USA, have confirmed reports from a mattress shop where an employee opening up for business last week found a woman wandering the store.
The salesperson called police, and when officers arrived the unexpected visitor told them she had been testing out the mattress the night before and fallen into a deep slumber.
The store declined to press charges for trespassing, and so the woman was escorted off the premises, according to the St Louis Dispatch.
"That's honestly the best mattress endorsement we've ever heard," the police department posted on social media on Fri.
Reports don't say whether the well-rested woman ever returned to buy the mattress.
There's been a breakthrough in the ongoing health battle against cigarettes in the USA, where a major employer has announced it will decline applications from prospective staff who are nicotine users.
Moving and storage operator U-Haul says it's implementing the policy as part of its campaign to "establish one of the healthiest corporate cultures in the USA and Canada".
The company employs over 30,000 people, with the policy applying in 21 states where it is lawful to decline hiring individuals who use nicotine.
