A TikTok streamer has gained viral fame after being called out for dozing off and snoring during a recent live broadcast following a long day’s work.
Streamers often face scrutiny for various antics; however, TrueAlphaSteve became a trending topic on social media after a video of him falling asleep during a TikTok Live session circulated widely.
A clip from TrueAlphaSteve’s September 14 TikTok stream was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), where the poster humorously noted him falling asleep while “grinding Tekken to 0 viewers.”
While the clip is funny without sound, playing the audio reveals even greater amusement as viewers can hear Steve snoring quite loudly.
The initial post featuring the clip attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers, but it was Steve’s own response that truly resonated on the platform. He commented on the original post, expressing how “hilarious” he found the incident and further joked, “I got tired of losing and had to sleep it off.”
Thanks everyone for the laughs. Many people don’t know I work 12-13 hours a day, when I stream Tekken late I have the tendency to dose off. https://t.co/AiO5jKqe5C

The next day, Steve reshared the now-famous clip on his own X account, thanking fans for the laughs and highlighting that he usually streams after a long day of work, which explains his tendency to doze off.
Viewers quickly rallied behind Steve, commending his dedication to streaming despite appearing exhausted after a long day’s work.
“Good for him, dude’s tired. I respect the grind,” commented one user. Many others referred to Steve as “the goat” for pushing through, with one user adding, “This is what we call pure determination. A true inspiration.”
Falling asleep while streaming isn’t rare; Twitch’s Kai Cenat often garners more viewership while sleeping than many of his peers do when awake and fully engaged.
While TrueAlphaSteve did not promise that he wouldn’t fall asleep again, he did mention that he would “hopefully be awake” for his next live session.
