A confused Brit shared a snap of a bizarre job advert he spotted in his local area this week – that advertised for a “sleeping person”.
Now, many new jobs have popped up in the last decade from influencers to crypto-traders, but a professional sleeper isn’t something most of us have seen before.
And, while it might sound like your dream job to be paid for your sleep there was a strange twist on the job role – you have to be OK with your sleep being streamed on the internet.
Thanks to TikTok and Instagram Reels, livestreams and video clips can make posters some serious cash if they manage to get an audience.
But, Reddit users questioned whether the unusual live stream was actually for people with a sleeping fetish.
Posting on Reddit, the anonymous bloke said: “Local job ads are getting weird .”
Attached was a photo of a poster taped to a glass window.
It said: “Sleeping person needed!
“Looking for somebody to love stream sleeping overnight on my Instagram.
“If Interested please call or text – thanks.”
Hundreds of people liked the post but some commented on the advert being a little fishy.
One poster said: “People don't usually advertise their fetishes so publicly and identifiably.
“I’m sort of curious about whether this is completely innocent or even worse than it sounds.
“Somnophilia – it's a fetish where people get sexually excited by watching others sleep.
“I think it's also known as Sleeping Beauty syndrome.”
But, others weren’t upset by the ad and fancied the job themselves.

A commenter noted: “There’s a job where I could easily put overtime in.”
“I'm chuffed theres a job I'm qualified for,” added another.
While a third wrote: “I’ll be clocking in for that shift shortly.”
But, another pointed out that the poster could be an old stunt pulled by prankster Oobah Butler who advertised for a sleeping person just to see if he would get any replies!
Fun fact: he did get a genuine reply to the advert!
