]]> So who hasn’t dreamed of spending a day or two in bed? Maybe even a week?

But what about lying around in bed for three months and getting paid $5000 a month for doing so?

Well, according to Wired Science that’s just what NASA is asking people to volunteer for.

NASA is running a ‘Bed Rest Study’ at it’s Human Test Subject Facility at Johnson Space Center to examine the effects of microgravity on the human body.

Want to know more – check out this Q&A with a NASA Scientist about the study.

It might sound like a dream but it could easily turn into a nightmare…

On the other hand, if you combined it with the Getting Paid to Eat Chocolate research, it might just be worth it!!!
