Popular streamer Amouranth has discovered a unique method to generate significant income by allowing fans to watch her sleep live online.
Believe it or not, earning money while you sleep is a reality, and on Twitch, ‘sleep streams’ have become surprisingly profitable.
The 32-year-old streamer, internet personality, and OnlyFans creator has reportedly amassed substantial earnings by simply broadcasting herself sleeping.
Sleep streams involve viewers watching someone sleep throughout the night. While it might seem unusual, thousands regularly tune in to watch.
According to Amouranth, whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa, part of the fascination may come from the voyeuristic aspect that keeps audiences engaged.
During an appearance on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, the Twitch star, who now has over six million followers, discussed the various ways she has made money over the years, ranging from streaming to subscription platforms and business ventures.
Podcast host Graham Stephan was particularly intrigued by the concept of sleep streams and, after understanding how they operated, inquired about Amouranth’s typical earnings each time she went live.
“If you count just on Twitch, probably like a couple thousand dollars,” she revealed in the 2023 video. “But, if you count the conversions, potentially, to OnlyFans, while I’m sleeping, then maybe like $10,000-$15,000.”
The hosts were astonished by the impressive figures and asked Amouranth why she doesn’t do sleep streams every night. The Twitch star explained that scheduling conflicts can often make organizing these streams challenging.
Amouranth’s sleep streams have garnered attention in the past as well. In 2022, radio host and comedian Howard Stern was bewildered by the idea after watching one of Amouranth’s streams.
After familiarizing himself with Twitch and exploring the site, Stern eventually came across Amouranth’s channel.
“See, I wouldn’t watch this — one of the top Twitch streams currently is a live feed of just a hot woman sleeping,” he remarked to his audience. “You watch that? Is that good? What do they do?”
He then questioned, “Do you think they’re really sleeping, or are they just pretending they’re asleep?
“You gotta be really hot to get dudes to pay to watch you sleep. … listen to this. Forty-four thousand people watching this woman sleep.”
