The story
Streamer Daisuke Hori is making waves on 5ch after repeatedly nodding off on camera during his endurance broadcast themed “I Won’t Sleep for 7 Days.” Each time he dozes off, he explains it away as a “microsleep,” but many viewers are convinced it’s just plain sleep. Reactions were split, with some pointing out the contradiction with his business selling info products about being a “short sleeper,” others worried about the dark circles under his eyes, and still others questioning whether the stunt itself is dangerous.
What people said
Just let him off already
You know about kotodama? (the belief that words have spiritual power — say it and it might come true)
Been right about that the whole time
This is basically a comedy bit at this point

He even went to the trouble of streaming from inside the bath and…
Is that Takuya-san!?
Isn't anyone gonna press him on that?
The fact that he's calling it a 'challenge' in the first place is the problem
This is insane lol
He's totally asleep lol
This is dangerous, isn't it
He's got a tennis ball against his back, rolling around against the wall with it
It's the kind of thing you'd do after working out
This guy's in Syamu territory (a streamer famous for being unintentionally hilarious)
He's funny just doing weird stuff
If he can't even make it through a week without being wobbly, that contradicts what his own business is selling
Given he sells info products, this stunt has nothing but downsides for him, yet he's doing it anyway
Though as entertainment it is funny
What's the actual difference from just sleeping
When he immediately fell asleep on day one, he said 'that was 10 microsleeps just now' so it's fine
It's just a different name for the same thing
Those dark circles are insane lol
Whoa lmaooooooooooooooooo
Someone let him sleep soon or he might actually die
He's just filming his daily life, so why does he have dark circles…?
Re: #63 ← Idiots like this coddling him is exactly the problem
As a hustle, this is really the hard road, huh 🥹
Excuse me, it's makeup? 😡
Cute eyeshadow 🤗
Even a genuine short sleeper would lose it doing this
He doesn't really have to interact with them though?
He's just quietly streaming his normal daily life
I haven't been watching so I don't know exactly what's going on, but apparently when he's teaching his sleep-learning program he says he can't show it on camera since it's business-related
If he mutes or cuts the video during that time, he could probably squeeze in some sleep
Apparently people are saying he's got the face of death on him
Background and Key Points of This Story
“Microsleep” is originally a medical term for a brief, unintended lapse into sleep lasting only a few seconds — it’s not a word that means sleep never happened. Daisuke Hori sells info products claiming to teach short-sleep techniques, and this “7 days without sleep” broadcast appears to double as promotion for that business. The thread was split between those simply enjoying it as an entertainment stunt and those highlighting the gap between his business model — built on selling minimal sleep — and suspicions that the dozing off might be staged. The broadcast did show physical changes like dark circles under his eyes, but there’s no way to confirm his actual condition or the stunt’s authenticity outside the stream itself, so it’s worth noting that many facts beyond the thread remain unclear.
