Viral TikTokers who have become popular for sleeping all day and night have opened up about how they make money via the app.
How viral TikTok sleeping couple met
The lady, Mrs Ray identified as Meisy, in an interview shared on Mungai Eve’s Facebook page revealed that she was fired after their sleeping video went viral.
They also narrated that they met in the same apartment they were both living in in the ghetto and started talking to each other after they realised they had a similar challenge.
According to the lady, because the caretaker had changed the gate key and she was yet to get a copy, she would jump over the gate.
She also realised Rey, her husband was also jumping over the gate and they did that for three days.
On the fourth day, she decided to leave work early so she can go get her key and use the gate while it was still open.
To her surprise, Ray also left his work early on that day and they mat at the gate and since then, they initiated a friendship that later led to their marriage.
How much do they earn on TikTok
However, when asked how much they make on TikTok sleeping all day and night, she said:
“Right now I cannot say it is good. Kenyans get tired so fast with one content. For now we are not earning good. I can remember there was a week we made over KSh 50,000. There was a day we woke up with KSh 20,000, the next day KSh 30,000 and KSh 10,000. People do sleep yes, they sleep at night, but for our case, they saw we also sleep during the day.”
Ray also narrated that he keeps seeing people call them lazy and tell them to get jobs but he challenged netizens to try sleeping all day and night.
His wife added:
“When you are sleeping and you are being paid, it is not easy by the way. On my side, I am trying to prove that there is still love among us and there is true love that you can share with everyone.”

Sleeping couple weigh in on TikTok ban
The sleeping beauty and her prince urged the government to crack the whip on TikTokers who share indecent content and not all content creators.
The lovebirds mint cash from the app and recently moved from Kibera slums to a two-bed apartment within Nairobi county.
“We do not post indecent content apart from sleeping. Our content does not encourage people to be lazy but just to show the world that love should still be upheld high,” said the lovely lady.
