Women Stay in Bed for 60 Days - In the Name of Space Science

Why can't I find a job like this? Laziness, and a sense of contribution to the exploration of space. Peach. From the AP:

Laurence Theil lounges around in bed, with attendants to massage her back and bring her breakfast on a tray.

But it isn't exactly a life of leisure: Theil has spent 50 straight days confined to bed for space research.

She is not allowed to stand or sit up, ever, and there's a 24-hour surveillance camera to make sure. She showers lying down and even jogs in bed, strapped in to a vertical treadmill that makes people feel they are racing up a wall.
