Putting together the fact that you have a very rare condition and the fact that it's understandably hard to keep a job, were you ever propositioned of making "data collection" your full time job?

I'm thinking something on the lines of being a member of a paid drug test, but instead of taking any drugs you commit to wearing some data-capturing devices (think something like a Fitbit) and keeping logs of your dreams / behavior / mental state in general.

Or, do you know of people with your condition that are paid to be part of research programs like that?

Edit: I just figure researchers would be very interested in understanding how the condition works, and be able to attract grant money that would pay for you helping them with data. Is that the case?
