Get paid for sleeping

That's happening to employees of Aetna Insurance who sleep more than seven hours a night. For every 20 nights employees get 7 hours or more of sleep, they earn $25. That comes out to $1.25 a night. The reward is capped at $300 a year. Measuring sleep is automatic for employees using Fitbit and other devices. Aetna does accept manual input from employees. Aetna thinks this will improve productivity. “You can get things done quicker if people are present and prepared,” said Mark Bertolini, Aetna chairman and chief executive officer, in an interview with CNBC. “You can’t be prepared if you’re half-asleep."
