Drew Iwanicki was paid 拢11,000 to lie down, at a six degree angle with his feet slightly higher than his head, for 70 days. Nasa researchers studied him, in an effort to learn more about bone and muscle atrophy as a result of zero gravity in space.

He explained that staying flat and still took some getting used to, and going for a shower involved lying down on a plastic bed moving a shower spray along his body.

鈥淚 was never able to get my back very clean, it鈥檚 not easy to scrub your back while lying on a bed鈥�, he said.

When asked how he staved off boredom he explained that he was able to use his laptop, 鈥淚 was able to use a laptop relatively easily, it鈥檚 a bit difficult to hold your arms up above you when using a computer, but as with most things I was able to adjust鈥�.

Mr Iwanicki told 5 Live that routine was pretty strict, even with sleep: 鈥淓very day was 鈥渓ights out at 10pm and lights on at 6am...If you were not sleeping 8 hours they would prefer if you lay completely still and keep your eyes closed鈥� he said.

Conjugal visits were also against the rules as they were classed as 鈥渦nmeasured exercise鈥�! 鈥淚 tried to negotiate in anyway that I could, my girlfriend came to visit but they simply wouldn鈥檛 have it鈥�, he said.
