Norme, a YouTuber from Australia, recently surpassed the current world record for the longest awake time. Throughout the livestream, his brother Don has been assisting him in staying awake by employing various tactics, such as splashing water on him and compelling him to stand when he becomes excessively fatigued.
However, viewers have grown increasingly concerned as Norme has begun to lose consciousness, experience hallucinations, and become incoherent during the broadcast.
A significant number of viewers believe that the challenge has exceeded reasonable limits and have inundated the chat with messages urging Norme to discontinue the attempt for the sake of his well-being.
Some individuals are even attempting to ascertain Norme’s location to dispatch medical assistance. Despite these concerns, the live stream continues unabated.
It is important to note that this particular type of world record is no longer officially recognised by Guinness World Records.
The most recent individual to undertake such a feat was Randy Gardner, who remained awake for a total of 264 hours as part of a science fair project. Gardner encountered severe health complications and subsequently struggled with insomnia for an extended period.
