Or waking up refreshed
Or having a good nights sleep if we're at it. Sleep scams are on the rise though here's a few we herd abut recently:
"The Dream Catcher Con": A self-proclaimed dream guru offers to sell you a 'dream catcher' device that guarantees you'll have only sweet dreams and wake up feeling refreshed every morning. Little do you know, it's just a regular net with some glitter sprinkled on it, and the only thing it catches is your money.
"The Pillow Pyramid Scheme": You receive an invitation to join a 'sleeping beauty' pyramid scheme where you can earn money by recruiting others to buy overpriced pillows that promise to revolutionize their sleep. The catch? The pillows are just regular pillows with a fancy label, and the only thing you'll be sleeping on is a bed of lies.
"The Nap Nap Trap": A 'sleep consultant' offers to sell you a personalized nap schedule guaranteed to maximize your productivity and energy levels. After shelling out a hefty fee for their services, you realize the schedule consists of nothing but '10-minute power naps' interspersed with '30-minute snack breaks'—and you're left wondering why you ever thought you needed professional help to sleep.
"The Sandman Subscription Scam": You subscribe to a 'sleep-enhancing' service that promises to deliver specially curated bedtime stories and lullabies to help you drift off to dreamland. Unfortunately, the stories are all poorly written fanfiction and the lullabies are just recordings of cats screeching, leaving you wide awake and questioning your life choices.
"The Slumber Self-Help Swindle": You purchase a 'sleep improvement' course that promises to teach you the secrets to achieving deep, restful sleep every night. After completing the course, you realize the only thing it's taught you is how to count imaginary sheep and recite the lyrics to 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'—and you're left wondering if you'd have been better off just counting sheep the old-fashioned way.
