The company called EachNight.com offers tips about sleep health, as well as mattress reviews, and is testing out theories about the pros and cons of taking daily naps.
They're looking for candidates who can start right away, and are willing to take a nap every day for 30 straight days, and then write about the experience.
The job pays $50 per nap, so $1,500 for the month.
Anyone over the age of 18 can apply online until May 31.
