There are many solutions to insomnia. More exercise. Less Caffeine. Sleeping pills. But few people have gone to the extraordinary lengths as one woman in Australia.
The woman, known only by her Australian gumtree username, Susan, has placed an advertisement on said site for a night watcher, to sit with her in her room and watch over her while she is sleeping, between the hours of 11pm and 6am. The person would be paid a generous £25 an hour, and would even be afforded one muesli bar in order to satiate any hunger that might strike during those late hours.
Oh, and they must be dressed as an owl.
Susan insisted that the job was "no joke".
"I have always found great comfort in the idea of owls are the natural outlooks of our world and so it would really help." She explained.
While adding that she would allow the watcher a cereal bar to refresh themselves, she did specify that they would have to face away from her when eating it, as she would find this "very off-putting" even if already asleep.
There are some dangerously insane people in this world. At least this one is too scared of the rest of them to go on a paranoid, violent rampage with an assault rifle.
Having said that, if I were not limited in my usefulness by geographical restraints, I would be the first to exploit this lunacy. Not for the money. I'm making a house out of muesli bars.
