Some people are blessed with the gift of being able to fall asleep anywhere. (Except in situations where “anywhere” includes places like a work meeting or the subway.) Other people are only able to drift off under a very specific set of conditions, like a made-bed with cotton sheets, the room temperature set to 68 degrees, a bedside fan pointing towards their feet, and a sleep mask.
One company is interested in learning more about how different environments affect a person’s sleep quality, and is looking to hire someone to do the sleeping. Here’s what to know and how to apply.
What the job entails
A website called Sleep Standards is currently seeking someone to spend five nights sleeping in different environments, including one night in a luxury 5-star resort. In addition to all their expenses being covered, the successful candidate will also earn $2,000 for five nights of work.
G/O Media may get a commission
You’re probably on board with the resort, but where will you be sleeping the other four nights? Per the job description:
If we choose you, we will send you to a new sleep environment every night. In each of those environments, we will carefully adjust several environmental factors that we think might improve your sleep quality. You can expect different settings in each place. Not to worry though, these settings will in no way harm your physical and mental health.
The successful candidate will then be required to write an honest report about their sleep experience each night, paying particular attention to how each of the adjustments made to their specific sleep environment affected their sleep quality. They’ll also have to rate each sleep environment on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best possible place to sleep).
How to apply
The application itself is pretty straightforward, and can be found here. It’s all the usual stuff, plus indicating how many Facebook and Twitter followers you have, and a 100-200 word statement on why you’re the right person for the job. The application also involves making a 60-second video introducing yourself and making the case as to why you should be selected.
Applicants must be U.S. residents aged 18 or older. The deadline to apply is March 30, 2021.
If you’re looking for a way to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg and look good while doing it, I highly recommend the Banana Republic Notorious Collar Necklace. Banana Republic has reissued the iconic collar necklace and will be donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Notorious Necklace to the International Center for Research on Women (up to $500,000) through December 31, 2020 to support of women’s equality worldwide.
I’ve styled the necklace two ways, one for Christmas and one for New Year’s but you could even wear it for a Zoom call with sweatpants on the bottom.
The Notorious Necklace adds pizzazz to any outfit but the best part is that it benefits the International Center for Research on Women.
I like this lighter Silk Cashmere Relaxed Sweater with the pleated skirt since it’s a little dressier. It also comes in five other colors.
I have the green Satin Pleated Midi Skirt (it looks teal in the above photo but it’s really green) but I also love the red for Christmas. It’s also available in black and gold too.
With so many designers it can be overwhelming to find good bras that make you feel sexy no matter your cup size. Claudette is our pick of the day for bras that give support, comfort and still make you look good. Using a softer wire in their bras, it is comfortable and doesn’t constrain. Claudette is never shy to use bold colors and their sheer Dessous mesh range is sheer up to a G cup. What’s special about the Dessous bra is that it has a 3-part design unlike most bras out there. As a lover of sheer bras myself I couldn’t resist getting one… or three of my own when I started working at Faire Frou Frou. I can proudly say that I adore my Claudette bras. They are fun to wear and give me the lift and support I need. Having been featured in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Lingerie Insight and Vogue, it’s obvious we aren’t the only ones attracted to this exciting brand. With their Spring/ Summer ’15 line we fell in love a little bit more with all of the new enticing colors. As ownership has changed here at Faire Frou Frou we absolutely love how Claudette always adds a pop of excitement to our store. Be sure to check them out on our online store, Fairefroufrou.com or loveclaudette.com.

Just in case you don’t follow anyone in England on Instagram, they received a beautiful snowfall on Sunday and more on Monday. Some said it hasn’t snowed in their area in over two years. It looked very idyllic and I couldn’t resist posting some of my favorite images. We’re supposed to receive snow in New York on Tuesday but it never stays looking this white for long in the city so I will live vicariously through those across the pond.
