If NASA paid you $10,000 to stay in bed for 90 days, would you do it? Why/Why not?

1. Did a sleep study back in 2012 --- just under $3k for 13 days in a room. Was allowed to walk around the room etc during waking hours, though. $10k to let your legs atrophy sounds unhealthy and also an extreme lowball (not accounting for inflation I guess since you're talking about something historical)

2. No - I had to do 72 hours of bed rest due to pregnancy complications and it was the longest 72 hours of my life. I honestly think I'd go off the deep end if I had to do 90 days.

3. So about 3,333 a month. I mean I'd do it for 10 grand a month but not three

4. Fifteen years ago I was on the "Guinea pig get paid" circuit and made several thousand dollars doing this sort of thing. No regrets, I was between jobs and the opportunity cost was minimal. My best paying job was 6 nights of sleep deprivation - staying up playing cam board games and talking with the PI's assistants most of the night, then having some blood tests. 6k went a long way for me then. Edit: guys whoa, wow. Ok. This was six weeks sleeping in hospital very bored on video the whole time, sleeping four hours of each twenty four, and at the end injected with something to mimic triggering the immune response to a virus to see how impaired the system is when sleep deprived. Important work but not very comfortable.

5. No, I wouldn't want to suffer the health consequences that come with being immobile for 90 days. Horrific effects on the body.
