California: Just before breaking the world record for continuous insomnia for 265 hours, YouTuber Norme was banned from his livestream by the social media platform after staying awake for 250 hours on stream.
He had been streaming for more than 250 hours in an attempt to break a world record for not sleeping.
During the stream, Norme’s brother Don helped him stay awake by splashing him with water and forcing him to stand up when he became too exhausted. With over a million followers, Norme’s stream quickly went viral, attracting many viewers eager to watch him stay awake. As the live stream continued, viewers became increasingly concerned that Norme was exhibiting severe signs of sleep deprivation, including fainting, hallucinations, and loss of coherence.
He posted a photo of himself in front of a computer screen, displaying the YouTube message saying his stream had been removed.
A large number of viewers felt that the challenge had crossed the acceptable boundaries and have flooded the chat with messages urging Norme to stop for her own safety. Some people are even trying to find Norme’s location in order to send medical help. Despite these concerns, the live stream continues without interruption.
Several social media users commented that Norme’s behaviour was becoming increasingly erratic, hitting her head, removing her headphones, screaming frantically and creating chaos around her. She was not only losing her composure, but also her mental stability. After damaging her video equipment, including the green screen, she even took off her clothes, unable to manage the situation rationally.
