Has anyone ever told you that you sleep too much? Perhaps it's time to turn this skill into a financial reward!
In Spain, there is an annual nap competition where the winner receives $1000 for doing the simplest thing possible: sleeping and snoring!
But don't think it's that easy;
contestants don't sleep in quiet rooms, but on small cots in public shopping centers, surrounded by shoppers, noise, and chaos!
Imagine trying to sleep amidst bright lights, crying children, and loud pop music.
Can you endure it?
The competition is not just about lying down and waiting for sleep; contestants are evaluated meticulously, with a doctor monitoring their sleep using a pulse measuring device, and points are awarded based on the duration of sleep, its depth, and even the intensity of snoring!
Yes, snoring here is not a problem but a feature that could earn you the title!
As for the record? It was set in 2010 when a 47-year-old construction worker managed to sleep for a continuous 18 minutes amidst the noise, winning the grand prize and proving himself the true champion of the art of napping!
Do you have the courage to challenge the noise and win the prize? Or perhaps you know someone who can sleep in any situation, even in the midst of a storm? Tell them about this competition; they might be the next winner.
