Are you sleepy, hungry or maybe both? Here's a side hustle for you

LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Leila Fadel.

Are you sleepy, hungry or maybe both? Have we got the job for you. Mattress review website Sleep Junkie will pay five volunteers $1,000 each to eat cheese snacks before going to sleep. The site says the dairy dreamers will help figure out if there's a connection between eating cheese before bed and having nightmares. The sleep study will last three months. And yes, the cheese is free.

It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
