Jesse Daugherty is a 37-year-old streamer who majorly streams ‘Hearthstone’ in addition to some other games. However, a majority of his streams are of the ‘Just Chatting’ genre.

During one of his streams, he dozed off for about three hours. Before this, he had no more than 200 followers on the platform but when he woke up, he not only found the same number of people watching but he also garnered hundreds of new followers!

In the clip, you can see the streamer sleeping quite peacefully on his couch, although he bobs his head about a couple of times. When he finally wakes up at the end of the video, he looks around dazed for a few seconds and then breaks into a rather endearing grin.
