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 pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
