Stop the missuse of the "I'm Only Sleeping" -category
In the community guidelines, it's pointed out that streaming under the wrong category is against the rules of the platform as quoted here:
"You are expected to accurately label your content to the best of your ability." (...) "Deliberate or extensive misuse of titles, tags, games/categories, or other metadata are prohibited."
Since sleeping has become a part of the content people are making, a new problem has become apparent. Years ago when the community asked Twitch, which category you could stream sleeping under, the community was told, that you should remove your streaming category when you're asleep on stream.
Recently people have moved onto the "I'm Only Sleeping" category to stream themselves sleeping. This has also been done by iconic platform users such as Amouranth.
In Twitch's own description of the category, it's stated that the category is for a point-and-click adventure game. I'm Only Sleeping is infact a point-and-click adventure game created in 2005 by Simon Jones.
Sleeping under this category is missuse of it.
Inform the community of the proper way to categorize your stream while you are sleeping or add a proper category for streamers who sleep on stream, due to subathons and other long ongoing livestreams.

It's a game category not a sleeping one

Twitch enforce the categories. This is an actual game. These streamers aren't playing the game. Honestly, sleeping shouldn't be allowed on stream.

Currently people are streaming themselves sleeping under the category "I'm Only Sleeping", which is a category created for a Point-And-Click adventure game.
The origin and usecase of the category is clearly stated by your own website and can be seen by anyone accessing this category.
For around two years people have abused this category by streaming themselves sleeping in it instead of doing the right thing and streaming themselves sleeping without a category.
