Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Why You Should NEVER Wake Someone Who Is Sleep Walking

Why You Should NEVER Wake Someone Who Is Sleep Walking

Vacuuming while asleep sounds like a household productivity trick nobody asked for. For Vin, it is an example of the strange middle ground explored in "Why You Should NEVER Wake Someone Who Is Sleep Walking".

The short explainer describes how someone can move around while parts of their brain remain asleep. Vin recommends gently guiding a sleepwalker back to bed rather than abruptly waking them, explaining that they may become confused or frightened. A staged comic ending turns that advice into a predicament of his own.

That upload, posted more than two months ago, is currently drawing the most daily views of his videos. Close behind are "Why Soda Cans Explode When You Shake Them.." and "Why You Get DIZZY When Spinning..": fizzy drinks and an unsteady head keeping company with the nighttime wanderer.

There were no new uploads this week. Subscribers stayed unchanged at 324,000, while daily views are running about a third below their usual pace. It was also a quieter week for views than those of the nearby curiosity channels, with Pins Guy and Zver drawing particularly substantial weekly audiences.

Vin's longer-running calling card remains everyday science made strange: his mosquito-disappearance Short has accumulated nearly nine million views.
