I’ve exhausted things I can sleep to on Netflix, and it’s literally impossible to sleep to things on Prime (so I barely watch anything there; it’s not worth falling asleep to something I like, since I might be punished for it), so I’ve started putting on YouTube in the evenings since it won’t wake me with silence at 4am.

I’ve a few voices I love listening to, but I’d like even more.

Which YouTubers do you recommend who:

  1. Have smooth, hypnotic voices,

  2. have content that won’t give me uncomfortable dreams (I’m a very visual, realistic, and impressionable dreamer), and

  3. have channels I’ll want to listen to when awake? (eta I like sciences and news mostly, a bit of fiction (scifi, horror, nf), gaming, other nerdy things, but never romance, pop culture , or reality tv).

I kinda need all 3.

    ZFG. He has a nice deep voice. He mostly does Zelda Ocarina of Time speed runs, but as of lately he has focused on playing Zelda randomizers.

    I like brutal moose, he has had a whole slew of different content through the years from video games, cooking and shopping outings that are all funny, meanwhile his second channel moose2 has streams that are calm and great to sleep too.

    Real calm voice, jazz in the background usually, still entertaining. Just don’t put on any point and click adventure games to go to sleep because all the noises will be clicked repeatedly lol.

    Warlockracy, but I don’t think that’s normal.

      I’ll add The Exploring Series as well, they have more long form videos and cover other subjects as well as SCP content. Both have great voices and I’ve fallen asleep to both before.

        Just make sure you turn off YouTube autoplay, you never know what you’re going to wake up to…

    No idea about YouTubers, but I sometimes put on Nemo’s Dreamscapes to sleep. It’s just a music ambience but I like it.

      Thanks!

      Unfortunately music doesn’t work for me. I need something to engage part of my brain or my mind races.

    Wolfpack345 plays naval war games and has a voice like that. He usually does slow and strategic submarine stuff. Puts me right to sleep.

    My big two are long form chemistry videos (codyslab, nilered) and old archived hours of the first version of the AI show Nothing Forever. Very easy listening IMO and should hit most of your bases. Maybe also look for podcasts on a topic you like, those can be hours long

      Seconding NileRed. If I’m tired and watching his videos I can fall asleep, but they’re great amusement awake as well

    If you like video games, try a search for a video game of choice and add the words “role play”.

    I was playing a lot of Kenshi and I found some YouTubers who make long playthroughs of games. Specifically I enjoyed Rycon Roleplays Kenshi which was something like 80 videos and each about an hr long. It would put me to sleep.

    Danny Harmon of Distant Signal, if you’re interested in railroading. I could listen to him talk at length about literally anything for hours.
