The Sleep Stream and Control My Room Live memes represent a bizarre subculture of interactive broadcasting where streamers monetize their rest by allowing viewers to disturb them. Using IoT devices connected to donation alerts, viewers can trigger blinding lights, loud sirens, or bed vibrations to prevent the streamer from sleeping. This format exploded on TikTok and Twitch, turning the act of sleeping into a gamified, high-stakes endurance test. The meme is widely used to illustrate situations where someone is trying to find peace but is constantly interrupted by external chaos or the demands of an online audience.
