JAKARTA - Unlike other Twitch streamers who often stream gaming content, this person has managed to make a fortune from Twitch in a quite unique way, namely sleeping.

Asian Andy, a streamer who only streams sleeping content on the platform. Sleeping is an activity that can be done by everyone. Andy chose to serve his sleeping content to earn income from Twitch.

The 26-year-old man is named the "sleep streamer". Andy shows live his sleeping activity, which often snores. The content sounds like a joke, but the money was not small.

The Twitch streamer managed to gain a profit of USD 16 thousand (approximately IDR 223 million) in one night. The most unique is the way of he presenting the content. Andy uses speech recognition from messages sent by the audience to be converted into voice commands. This voice command is then responded to by Alexa, the smart assistant.

Many viewers are interested in teasing Andy by ordering Alexa to imitate various voices to disturb Asian Andy while doing sleep streaming.

Alexa also followed the crowd's orders by imitating the sound of dog barking and turning on loud music. Several times he was disturbed by them, Andy took advantage of the audience's nosy distractions to become a blessing.

"Thank you very much. I previously only earned USD 16 (approximately IDR 223 thousand) per hour as an Uber driver", Andy said at the end of the live stream.

Cited from Business Insider, the name Asian Andy is already popular because he often displays unique and funny content. Now, he has 76.400 followers on Twitch. Meanwhile, on Instagram and Twitter, he has 40.000 followers. On YouTube, Andy has managed to collect 1 million subscribers.

Before Andy, someone had actually benefited from the sleeping stream content. In 2017, there was a YouTuber with the channel name 'Ice Poseidon' who successfully earned USD 5 thousand (approximately IDR 69.7 million). The content he displayed was only sleeping.

In addition, in 2018, Alex Shannon did the same thing, except that he traveled the world and slept in all kinds of luxurious places.
