Ask people about their dream job, answers will vary—but one common response would be “getting paid for sleeping all day.” Had it not been for the things we ought to do––school, college, jobs––many of us must have only slept. All the time.
But what if sleeping is the job role?
A video from Bengaluru showing a man sleeping peacefully on a mattress inside a display truck––an advertisement for the mattress––is going viral. The overlay text reads, “My Dream Job in Bangalore.” The display truck is designed like a small room, complete with a bed, air conditioning, and a television.
A message on the truck reads, “Better sleep starts here,” promoting a cloud hybrid mattress. The video, captured by a passerby on an unknown road in Bengaluru, has caught the attention of many online.

The video, uploaded on Instagram by “Bangalore Diaries” account, has over four million views already and the comments section is one to look out for.
One user wrote, “Unpaid internship bhi karlunga idhar sir please (I’ll even do an unpaid internship here, sir, please).”
Another person used a dialogue from 3 Idiots: “Papa paise kam milenge par mai khush rahunga papa (Papa, I may earn less money, but I will be happy).”
A third person said, “That’s the marketing technique. LIVE examples of showing the product and the benefit one getting out of it.”
A fourth individual wrote, “He is probably a night shift employee doing this part time.”
Recently, a Bengaluru woman went viral for sharing her dream job online. Monalika Patnaik wrote on X, “My dream job is to become a PG owner in Bangalore, do nothing, get a whooping rent at the end of every month and not return the security deposit.”
