YouTuber Norme Breaks World Record for Longest Time Without Sleep, Staying Awake for 12 Days
A 19-year-old YouTuber known as Norme has achieved a new Guinness World Record by staying awake for an astonishing 12 days, surpassing the previous record of 11 days set by Randy Gardner in 1964.
Norme’s extraordinary feat was broadcast live, drawing significant attention and concern from both viewers and authorities.
Throughout his 12-day vigil, Norme’s health and well-being were the subject of widespread anxiety. His fans frequently contacted emergency services due to worries about his physical condition.
Additionally, social media platforms imposed multiple bans on Norme’s content amid growing concerns over the potential dangers of his extreme attempt.
Norme’s record-breaking live stream, which reached 9,000 viewers on the alternative platform Rumble, showcased his endurance as he broke the record with a total of 264 hours and 24 minutes of wakefulness.
The final stages of his attempt saw ambulances and police vehicles stationed outside his residence, highlighting the seriousness of the situation as he continued his marathon challenge with friends in attendance.
The previous record holder, Randy Gardner, achieved 11 days without sleep at the age of 17 in 1964. Gardner’s attempt was closely monitored by scientists, who documented his experiences of hallucinations and severe disorientation.
Since Gardner’s record, there have been two other individuals who have stayed awake for over 400 hours, but their attempts were not officially recognized by Guinness World Records.
Unlike previous record attempts, which involved medical professionals overseeing the participants’ health, Norme undertook his challenge without such supervision, raising significant concerns about his safety throughout the event.
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
