As one of the most well-known MMORPG games in the world, "World of Warcraft" naturally has many unique records. Recently, a US Marine Corps veteran player who suffers from insomnia set a new world record in "World of Warcraft".

Justin O'Donnell, who also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and rheumatoid arthritis, set a new record of 78 hours and 30 minutes during the three-day challenge, 19 hours longer than the previous record set by Hungarian player Barnabás Vujity-Zsolnay.

According to the rules of the Guinness "Longest Marathon" record challenge, Justin only has 5 minutes to rest after playing games for an hour. He can use the rest time to take a nap, eat or go to the toilet. But Justin, who has insomnia problems, basically did not sleep (his insomnia began in 2005, and he was unable to sleep for 200 consecutive hours. Now after treatment, he can sleep 2 to 4 hours a day). He only did stretching exercises, played with dogs and made hamburgers during the rest time.

In addition to setting new Guinness World Records (two in total, the longest MMORPG game marathon world record and the longest "World of Warcraft" marathon world record), Justin also donated 100% of the proceeds from the Twitch live broadcast to charity. This challenge raised more than $3,000 for the Husky House in New Jersey (the community raised more than $40,000 for this challenge, and he personally donated more than $100,000 to various charities since 2020).
