A Chino man five years into a claim, came awfully close to moonlighting when he participated in, and won the $600 grand prize bed set in a “Sleepyhead” contest at a local Ikea Jan. 17.
While out of work and on a claim, somehow 31-year-old Bill Hatch acquired the ability to hold his bladder for an abnormally long duration of time.
Hatch and six other participants started the contest by dawning pajamas and hopping into a bed on the Ikea showroom floor. They initially were required to drink a six-ounce glass of water every 30 minutes. The drinking intervals were then reduced to 15 minutes and eventually 10 minutes.
Hatch was able to hang on for five hours tucked in under a white down comforter on a queen-size Soultan Nattljus mattress.
Although he didn’t credit his claim for helping him to accomplish such a feat, one does have to wonder what else could have prepared him to comfortably go out in public in pajamas and hang out in bed all day drinking?
One of the other contestants told the San Bernardino County Sun that she had trained for the event for three days. But she was no match for Hatch who’d been preparing for the last five years.
