[arianna bedroom]Brian Ach/Getty Images Arianna Huffington is a media magnate and self-described "sleep evangelist." In fact, she's so enthusiastic about the power of a good night's sleep that she wants to give one lucky individual the chance to experience Huffington's own "Sleep Paradise" in Manhattan for one night only. Huffington — who recently released "The Sleep Revolution", a new book on the importance of proper rest — has listed her bedroom on Airbnb. Not just anyone can spend a night between the editor-in-chief's sheets, though: she's hosting a contest through the home-sharing site to ascertain who deserves it most. To enter the contest, interested individuals will need to sign up for Airbnb and submit a 50-550 character statement answering the question: "What would you do with your day if you got more sleep at night?" Huffington and a panel of judges will select a winner based on the answer that shows a "passion for a life that is enhanced through deeper, more restful sleep." Perks of the cost-free stay in the Huffington home during one night in June include a pre-slumber Greek dinner with special guests, a "sleep consultation" with Huffington herself, a hot bath in her sunken tub, and of course your (solo) stay in the bedroom. In the morning, you'll be served a "special breakfast designed to jumpstart your day," and you have the option to appear on the HuffPost Rise morning show to talk about your experience. Bonus: you'll get hair and makeup done. So where does Huffington rest her head? Check out the book-filled, warm-toned apartment, below. "SLEEP YOUR WAY TO THE TOP," READS THE PILLOW ADORNING HUFFINGTON'S BED. THE TONGUE-IN-CHEEK PHRASE HAS RESONANCE: HUFFINGTON, WHO HAS MADE SLEEP AND WELLNESS A PRIORITY IN RECENT YEARS, IS THE FOUNDER AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE HUFFINGTON POST. Airbnb A QUILTED HEADBOARD AND DECADENT PILLOWS MAKE HER BED APPEAR SOFT AND LUXURIOUS. HUFFINGTON IS ALSO BIG ON "NAP ROOMS" AT WORK: EMPLOYEES AT THE HUFFINGTON POST'S OFFICE ARE ENCOURAGED TO MAKE USE OF THE QUIET SPACE. Airbnb THERE'S ART ON THE WALLS AND GOLDEN LIGHT FLOWING FROM LAMPS; IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T HAVE THE STERILE AMBIENCE OF A HOTEL ROOM. Airbnb SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER
