A Japanese website offers a man to sleep next to you in your bed for 7 hours for $364. You can also have him clean for you or cook dinner. Inspired by Shimshima, a Japanese drama about a woman who has trouble sleeping after coming out of a divorce.

Niall, that actually sounds like an incredibly helpful service for lonely people.

No wonder Japan does not appear in the "Forever Alone World" chart:

I do wonder if a service like this would do well in America.

Especially in Las Vegas.

Probably would need to hire a bodyguard to accompany to make sure no shenanigans.
