As applications for the Wakefit Sleep Internship Season 2 continue to pour in, Wakefit.co has partnered with content creator Yashraj Mukhate to get people to apply for a job that pays to sleep. Yashraj, best known for his viral parodical videos, is now gearing up to be a ‘professional sleeper’ in his peppy new track for Wakefit.co.
Titled ‘Professional Sleeper’, the new track aims to promote the much-awaited Season 2 of the Sleep Internship programme with its intense and groovy music, paired with some ear-catching, quirky lyrics. The video shows Yashraj diligently getting dressed for work and yawning his way to the workplace, only to later reveal that his job now is to get nine hours of uninterrupted sleep every night for 100 nights.
The music track:
The Wakefit Sleep Internship programme encourages people to invest in quality sleep, which would not only increase their productivity throughout the day but also promote a healthy lifestyle. In Season 2, candidates who clear the interview rounds to qualify for the internship will earn Rs 1 lakh each and a chance to avail customised workshops with sleep and lifestyle experts. The selected interns will compete amongst themselves to be ‘India’s Sleep Champion of the Year’, who will win a grand prize of Rs 10 lakh. The second season has already received over 1.2 lakh applications so far.
The first season of the internship was a raging success, with 1.75k lakh applications received from over 30 countries, making it one of the most applied jobs of the year. Last year’s applicants shared their love for sleep across social media through videos, text messages, customised songs, dance routines, and poems. The interview process culminates in a gala event in Bengaluru, where four celebrity judges interviewed the 100 shortlisted candidates and selected 23 interns for the Batch of 2020.
