Imagine you are getting paid to sleep? Yes, you read that right! Japan is turning that unusual idea into a real competition as the “Mattrace by Koala” sleep tournament will challenge participants to get the best possible sleep during a 90-minute race. The overall winner is set to receive ¥2.22 million (around $14,000). But there's a catch, the contestants will not win simply by falling asleep first or staying in bed for the full 90 minutes. Their sleep will be monitored and scored based on factors including depth, quality, speed of falling asleep and stability.
