Leaked Email Reveals MrBeast's Plan for Investigation and Company Changes

Highlights

YouTuber Norme strives to set a new record by staying awake for over 12 days, showing signs of hallucinations and nodding off during the stream. Streamers like PrimeTime and Norme push their limits with grueling challenges on camera to entertain their audience. Extreme streaming challenges like sleep deprivation events raise significant health concerns among viewers and stir debate.

YouTube personality Norme is attempting to break the record for the longest continuous stream without sleep, aiming to stay awake for over 200 hours. As the YouTube stream 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 and Facebook streamer PrimeTime set a new world record in September for the longest uninterrupted stream without sleep. Known for his Grand Theft Auto Online 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.

At present, YouTuber Norme is undertaking a similarly grueling sleep challenge with his ongoing stream titled "No Sleeping for 12 Days WORLD RECORD." Norme, who boasts over 1.2 million subscribers, is primarily known for his rating videos on a diverse range of topics. As of this writing, he has already surpassed the 238-hour mark. His brother, Don, along with a team of supporters, is closely monitoring the stream and utilizing various strategies to keep Norme awake. Norme's goal is to achieve a total of 288 hours, equivalent to 12 days without sleep, putting him roughly 50 hours short of this ambitious target. It is worth noting that he has already experienced moments of diminished consciousness during the stream.

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 the Twitch 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.
