Bizarre ‘Festival of Laziness’ offers a reward of Rs 90,000 for the longest snooze

Reportedly, competitors are allowed to read books, use their mobile phones, and even receive visitors but all from bed. All they are allowed is a 15-minute break every eight hours, according to the report, which added that their health is also closely monitored to ensure they don’t have any issues.

The contest which has been called ‘Lazy Olympics’ sees the majority from the village of Montenegro but also from countries like Russia and Serbia.

The report details that in what has been built like a barn-like structure in a resort, the contestants lie down with the curtains drawn. In fact, the room smells of meals and used blankets. The report suggests that the contestants eat three meals a day. They are supervised closely such that any sitting or standing results in direct disqualification.

For many, the money was the initial motivation to join the competition which began on August 21 this year. However, now it is their desire to test their threshold and their ability to challenge themselves, the report suggested, with many contestants staying back to do just that.

Would you be willing to test the waters with such a bizarre challenge?
