Over the years, Twitch streamers have gone through a number of interesting metas, in which streamers have stepped outside of their comfort zones and tried something new. A meta can begin on a high note but eventually fall short of capturing the audience’s attention.
The “sleeping meta,” which gained popularity in 2019-2020, is one example of a meta that falls into this category. Former Twitch streamer Ludwig popularized a new style of streaming called Subathon the following year, and it began to gain popularity once more.
5 Twitch streamers who fell asleep in the middle of a livestream and later regretted it

During one of the most amusing episodes of LosPollosTV, the streamer decided to host a sleep stream with his girlfriend, during which the latter played a prank on the streamer by throwing and spilling ice cold water on his face.
When he was fully awake, the streamer decided to pursue his girlfriend, seeking vengeance as she dashed out of the room after the prank.
JustaMinx
Rebecca “JustaMinx” attempted to enter the sleep streaming meta in 2020, when it was at its peak. The Irish streamer decided to host a media sharing stream in which viewers could donate a certain amount of money in exchange for sharing media content.
The majority of the donations went towards sharing loud and annoying videos with the goal of disrupting a good night’s sleep.
Nyyxxii
At the start of 2021, Nyyxxii, a British Twitch streamer, decided to host a sleep stream. The 39-second clip featured a text-to-speech donation message from a Twitch chatterer who was disrupting her sleep.

PotasticP
After waking up from her deep slumber, Twitch streamer Jeannie “PotasticP” conveniently forgot that she had been livestreaming on Twitch. She pushed her partner off the couch as soon as she realized she had been streaming the entire time while cuddling with her.
She exclaimed and leapt to her feet, laughing and giggling as she realized her error.
