Ever wondered if you could get paid to just sleep in bed all day? Look no further. NASA wants you to do that 24/7 for a handsome price too.
NASA is conducting a study that involves lying in bed tilted for 70 days. The study is meant to help researchers develop methods that will allow astronauts return from space missions to physically adjust to daily life.
Because gravity is non-existent in space, astronauts end up using less energy day in day out. It gets harder and takes longer to get used to regular life on Earth when they return.
The subjects will experience increased circulation to the upper parts of their bodies to simulate zero gravity in space which is help researchers monitor and record cardiovascular behavior throughout the duration of the study.
One group will spend 105 days living at NASA's Flight Analogs Research Unit (FARU), and will be required to undergo different resistance and aerobic exercises while still on bed rest. Another group will spend 97 days lying in bed without any exercise.
There will be a modified shower and bathroom provided when nature calls, and NASA is looking to pay subjects $1,200 per week for participation in the study.
Staying in bed poses a few risks to your health. From the loss of muscle, bone density, and respiratory ability in addition to developing urinary and constipation problems, there's also the risk of going insane from spending way too much time on the bed.
Walk through any modern wellness expo and you’ll see a striking pattern: people aren’t just buying supplements anymore — they’re buying signals. Red light panels, PEMF mats, vagus nerve stimulators, biofeedback rings, grounding sheets. The wellness aisle has quietly become an electronics aisle. And tucked inside that shift is one of the more unusual comeback stories in alternative health: the return of Rife frequencies. Read more
A stable wireless connection supports multiple aspects of daily activities. However, the signal strength may get reduced in distant bedrooms, upper floors or balcony spaces. This happens because the intensity of radio waves reduces as they travel through walls, ceilings and furniture. Most of the standard Wi-Fi routers' coverage stays around 140 to 230 square meters. By using the correct steps, you can extend the Wi-Fi network range across your home and office. Read more
It is probably safe to say that the vast majority of us appreciate being able to safely go about our business. We are not looking to cause trouble or have it find us. With that in mind, most of us at least make a minimal effort to secure our homes. But cost can be a factor in determining just how far we go with home security. Read more
