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.

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.

I watch a lot of tech related youtubers to fall asleep.

Techmoan, LGR, Bigclivedotcom, Usagi Electric, Tech tangents, technology connections.

Non-tech related youtubers: Baumgartner restorations, atomic shrimp, ashens

The guy who makes the vita carnie series and his art tutorials might not fit the second criteria

mnemonicmonkeys,

Are you sure it isn’t just all the charts and data putting you to sleep? ^^^/s

Pete Complete, in particular his RimWorld series. His voice, relaxed tone and slow pacing with a lot of pause in his speech puts me to sleep even when I’m not trying to.

monsterpiece42,

Absolutely my choice as well. In addition to being all the things that OP has asked for, he’s also a phenomenal player and his dedication to highly precise play is insane.

My wife and I have been through all of his Rimworld series, and watch it as we would a TV show when a new episode drops. We just got done watching biotech episode 5!

Posy.

bigmclargehuge,

Lemmino hits 1 and 3, and sometimes 2 (some of his videos are about dark topics, some are more fun or wonderous). His voice is very nice to listen to. Smooth, low, and a relatively thick, but perfectly understandable Danish accent.

To boot, he’s one of the best goddamned researchers I’ve ever seen. For example, he did a documentary on Jack the Ripper. Instead of just going over the same beats everyone else does, this madlad poured over dozens of police reports, newspaper clippings, and eyewitness accounts from the time of the events, (more than 150 years old), and then compared those to more contemporary research to make a more complete study. He somehow put all of this together into the most cohesive description of the events I’ve ever seen, all with detailed and accurate CGI visuals (nothing graphic, just to show locations and timelines and such).

Really, really dedicated guy with a huge amount of integrity in his work, lots of creative flair, and no annoying biases or wild assumptions.

lyth,

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

Shayreelz,

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

mojo,

I love Wendigoon, he does interesting long term stories and is really calm
