Summary
YouTubepersonality Norme is attempting to break the record for the longest continuous stream without sleep, aiming to stay awake for over 200 hours. As theYouTubestream progresses, the effects of sleep deprivation are becoming increasingly apparent, with Norme nodding off on camera and showing signs of hallucination.
Streamers often take on intense challenges live on stream, pushing their limits to entertain their audience. Among these, streaming continuously without sleep is particularly grueling and something many streamers attempt. For instance, Kick andFacebook streamer PrimeTime set a new world recordin September for the longest uninterrupted stream without sleep. Known for hisGrand Theft AutoOnline RP sessions, PrimeTime aimed to surpass the 162-hour record held by another streamer and managed an impressive 164-hour stream while maintaining interaction with his viewers. Although he initially targeted 200 hours, he ended the stream before reaching that goal.
Viewers Urge YouTuber Norme to Take a Break and Get Some Sleep
The stream is currently drawing approximately 1,000 live viewers, who are expressing noticeable concern. Comments from the audience suggest that Norme should consider taking a break, with some highlighting possible cognitive difficulties he may be experiencing. There are also discussions about the long-term health risks of extreme sleep challenges, highlighting the dangers of extended sleep deprivation. This challenge is similar to other intense streaming events, such as theTwitch closet challenge, which also raised health concerns.
In August of last year,Twitch streamer Izidore attempted the closet challenge, where he locked himself in a small, dark closet for three days, with viewers influencing his experience through donations. Inside the closet, he faced various tasks like enduring flashbangs, getting hit by ping pong balls, and being sprayed with water. To increase the challenge, Izidore promised to “total” his car if he quit before completing 72 hours. Despite his determination, he had to end the stream after nearly 50 hours due to severe sleep deprivation, breathing problems, and extreme discomfort.
