Sometimes I’ll read stories on the internet and just shake my head. I am so starting to feel like my dad….not getting kids today! A Chinese amateur actor has made serious loot just by sleeping. 

The man goes by the name Yuansan and all he does is stream himself sleeping. This started on February 9 when he decided to live stream himself sleeping for a night to see whether or not he snored. When he awoke the next day he was shocked to discover he suddenly had close to 800,000 new followers on his channel. The unexpected viewer spike prompted him to do it again, and again. Now his channel has gone viral garnering up to 18.5 million viewers and nearly a million followers.

Yuansan has been trying to offer his viewers other types of content, but all they seem to want is to watch him sleep. He now turned his newfound fame into some money as well with viewers giving him virtual gifts worth around $11,000 as tips.

$11,000 for sleeping. Are you KIDDING me? I am obviously in the wrong business. I’m not sure which is creepier: this guy live streaming himself sleeping or people actually watching him sleep.

It’s amazing to me how people become “famous” these days. I’m also amazed at what people will pay for! Crazy! Just don’t get it.  If you’re into this or ya wanna just check out more details and see the channel, you can do that here. 

I’m off to see what off the wall thing I can come up with to make extra money. I mean, if someone wants to watch me sleep and do some serious snoring, I’m in. LOL! Thank you internet for making my head hurt.
