Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

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.

Sheltr,

For me it has been Slay The Spire streamer Baalorlord. His cozy sub club is just too cozy for me some times.

Vi Hart is calm and mathy. Here’s the story of Wind & Mr ug.

octoperson,

Don’t know if they’re on the tube, but I never made it through an episode of Brian Cox’s Cosmos without nodding off.

Papa Meat

he might give you nightmares though lol

CaptnNMorgan,

Gopher, I found his channel learning how to mod various Bethesda games over 10 years ago but he has let’s plays for various games that are great and put me to sleep when I’m tired

Northernlion – He plays video games, but his banter is very easy-going. I especially like his older videos where it’s just him (not reacting to chat while streaming) rolling with his stream of consciousness while he plays the game and talks about it and life in general.

HuntressHimbo,

Noah Caldwell-Gervais is my go-to for just relaxing audio. He does very in depth coverage of game franchises talking about how they evolved and the ways the mechanics support the narrative or run counter to it. Very chill and hypnotizing voice

The History channels:

It’s really good long form fomat. You don’t have to watch anything and just listen. It’s long enough for me to fall asleep and not hear the whole video so next night I just go close enough to the end of what I heard/remember I heard and just continue listening. I don’t mind relistening at all - I always miss something so I always learn something new.

Edit: the awesome thing is that these videos are told basically like a story. The narrator’s voice is calming, there are no loud noises or anything. He really tells it like a good night story.

jiriks74,

I find the Universe one the best one for me. The one for Humankind or Earth can be unsettling sometimes (mostly the intros in my experience) but I don’t have problems with uncomfortable dreams really so I don’t mind. But from my experience if there’s something that could give you a bad dream it’s only in the into.

Daedskin,

Purge (youtube.com/) is pretty good. He typically posts full, un-cut dota games, and is lower energy throughout. There’s not big volume or tone changes, and they’re long enough that you should always be able to fall asleep during them.

Nashua,

My wife puts on RyconRoleplays or ChristopherOdd in the background sometimes when she’s having trouble sleeping. Rycon might have the voice you’re looking for; Odd’s narration depends on the game he’s playing, he likes to set the mood in more atmospheric games, and he reads out every bit of lore.

Clarkesworld is a sci-fi magazine with free audio versions on their site, plus on Spotify as a podcast. I’d recommend “The very Pulse of the Machine” personally as an intro. It was adapted into a great episode of “Love, Death + Robots”.

bionicjoey,

Have you tried ASMR videos? I’m sure there are lots of creators there that will hit all 3 for you.
