The story
Daisuke Hori, who set out on a marathon livestream under the banner of “30 minutes of sleep a day,” repeatedly dozed off snoring during massage sessions from day one, sparking discussion on a 5ch livestream-commentary thread. Some viewers pointed out that “sleeping for a full 30 minutes straight defeats the whole point,” while others defended him after his smart ring failed to register any sleep at all, arguing “that’s not a nap, that’s passing out” or “the ring is just inaccurate.” Opinions have split, with the thread simultaneously filling up with comments praising the sheer brutality of the stream and others calling out false advertising.
Looks rough.

What people said
That's passing out.
Passing out doesn't count.
No count! No count! No count!
That was only 29 minutes, so he's still got 1 minute of sleep left in the bank.
He banked extra sleep beforehand, so he's not quick to snap.
Just get a plant to post some slander and he can end the stream whenever he wants.
He's fine for now, not tough yet.
Once he hits his limit he'll go digging for "harassment" comments and pull the plug instantly.
You clearly haven't watched the live stream—he flat-out admitted he fell asleep and announced he won't sleep tonight.
My bad, I hadn't watched.
Props to him for owning up to actually sleeping! 👏
That part makes sense, but the "no sleep tonight" declaration I don't get.
Lol, imagine following the stream live just to flex on people.
Hori's probably soaking his pillow with tears over getting dunked on by the internet.
Hori's the one who'd be in trouble if people left him alone—the more you guys take the bait, the more he earns.
The masseuse is like, "(Oh, this is the guy who supposedly doesn't sleep?)"
And he's out cold instantly—you'd definitely crack up too lol
It's basically like the 24-hour interview segment from Gaki no Tsukai (a famous Japanese variety show).

Just the text alone is hilarious lol
A head massage will make you drowsy even if you've had plenty of sleep.
It's only been 28 hours so who knows how tomorrow goes, but—
reading and responding to garbage comments while 10,000 people watch your every move, running on two 30-minute sleeps—
at this point, maybe 1 in 500,000 people could pull that off.
The people trashing him right now are seriously underestimating the physical and mental toll of this stream.
"1 in 500,000" still adds up to a surprising number of people.
Nah, he's just living his normal life—there's nothing impressive about that.
Cut the anti-fan slander.
I'd love to see all the trash YouTubers who've been trolling him get down and grovel.
This was never a "30 minutes of sleep a day" challenge to begin with—
his whole stance is just livestreaming his normal daily life.
Falling asleep during a massage is completely normal.
It'd be different if he were insisting he hadn't slept, but he's the one who said he did.
So there's no problem here.
Yeah, yeah, sure lol
His channel name literally says "30 Minutes of Sleep a Day, Short Sleeper Daisuke Hori"—so it was proven he was lying within seconds. Are you not that bright?
How microsleep works
State: A few seconds to about 15 seconds where consciousness itself is forcibly cut off.
Cause: A momentary shutdown caused by the brain hitting its limit.
Meanwhile Hori was out cold, snoring, for nearly 30 minutes straight.
Isn't a "short sleeper" someone who sleeps like 3 hours a day?
This kind of sloppy, inaccurate posting—throwing around words like "out cold" to try to smear him—is exactly why the anti-fans are entering the phase where they get mocked.
To be precise, he kept his eyes closed during the 30-minute treatment, and snored a few times within that window.
And besides, he's wearing the ring specifically for moments like this, and it turned out useless, registering zero minutes of sleep—even though Hori himself admitted he'd slept.
That's about the level of strain an online-game addict feels once they finally get warmed up.
Exactly, this much is definitely just exaggeration for the camera.
I've biked 12 hours straight, from Hyogo all the way back to Kyoto.
Back in school, pulling an all-nighter gaming for 24 hours straight was just normal.
Go to sleep, dude.
He's already used up today's sleep quota, so sleeping again now would be a fail.
He already rolled out the "zero minutes" theory since the smart ring didn't register any sleep.
His story keeps flip-flopping, man.
He was solidly snoring away for almost 30 minutes, and yet somehow it couldn't be measured? 🤔
Background and Key Points of This Topic
With this kind of “no-sleep livestream,” the constant flashpoints are the sheer difficulty of staying awake for long hours while continuing to respond to viewer comments, and the fact that verification inevitably has to rely on the streamer’s own self-reporting, making it hard to confirm either way. This time, the debate expanded because the two pieces of “evidence”—the readings from his smartwatch-style sleep tracker (a smart ring) and the visible snoring caught on the stream itself—contradicted each other. In the thread, opinions are split over whether the word “short sleeper” in the channel name amounts to exaggerated advertising, and over whether falling asleep during the massage should be seen as a “nap” or something closer to “losing consciousness”—worth noting this isn’t just nitpicking, as questions have also been raised about the sleep-tracking method itself. Note that posts in the original thread containing slander against real third parties, or baseless attributions of medical conditions, have been excluded from this article.
