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.

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

FelixMortane,

Professor David Kipping and his Cool Worlds youtube series / podcast.

www.youtube.com/(sorry, linking to the channel instead of a specific video so can’t use piped it seems

Dude does a lot of indie games especially horror. But his voice is really soothing and he’s really calm so I end up falling asleep a lot

John Michael Godier, great sleep ready content about science and science fiction. One of my faves.

crusa187,

John Michael Godier sleep crew checking in!

datavoid,

Highly recommend History of the Universe and its sister channels, it is incredibly calming

Funstuff,

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.

tslnox,

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

LillyPip,

Thanks!

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

tslnox,

How about something like Veritasium, Kyle Hill or VSauce?

www.youtube.com/ and www.youtube.com/ for Warhammer 40K stuff. But that may break rule 2

www.youtube.com/ for Pokemon Yellow playthrough with every Pokemon and back porting some gen 2 Pokemon to gen 1.
If you prefer red and blue there is www.youtube.com/ but his voice may not be rule 1.

crypticthree,

I have slept through hours of Luetin

slazer2au,

I like how recently he knows we do this and will shout us out. Too bad we are asleep and don’t hear it.

Shard,

Here are some I enjoy. All have a good voice, not overly expressively and no sudden change in background tracks. No sudden screaming/explosions/anything that will wake you.

John Michael Godier Science/Speculative Scifi, Low Soothing voice, even has a sleep playlist.

Issac Arthur Sci-Fi, Calm voice, Good background track, Long Videos

Darth Gandalf Fantasy, Soothing Voice

Forgotten Weapons Firearms, Historical and Mechanical overviews and indepth discussions. I recommend you skip the shooting range stuff if you’re trying to sleep.

Cool Worlds Science & Astronomy. Great Narrative Voice, Calm background tracks.

North02 Science, Anthropology & Natural history. Soothing Voice, nice selection of long videos.

Natural World Facts Deep Sea biology, excellent soothing narrations, very good soothing background tracks.

I love Technology Connections. Something about his voice, the old tech he covers, and the well informed delivery is really good. Sometimes he luls me.

PBS Space Time is also really fucking good because I don’t really understand much of it as someone with a background in healthcare and not astrophysics/physics, and as soon as my ADHD drifts off his voice hits me on the side of my head and puts me in the fetal position.

LillyPip,

Technology Connections sounds straight up my alley, thanks!

PBS Spacetime is already a standby. I’ve seen all of them at least twice. I’m always up for more watches.

If Technology Connections is up your alley check out LGR if you haven’t. He has a very smooth voice, talks mostly about 90’s and early 2000’s computer nostalgia, with smooth jazz in the background. We fall asleep watching him regularly as it’s just a calm, chill time.

CADmonkey,

Technology Connections is awesome. He’s the one who got me to understand how old CRT televisions could put a picture on a radio signal that could be picked up by both color and B&W TV’s.

If you like D&D then I can suggest D&D Deep Dive - roughly hour long videos building weird combos for D&D play but with the smoothest voice ever!

new_guy,

Northernlion for general gaming and PekinWoof for League of Legends gameplay are my choices

pastel_de_airfryer,

This one is my favorite. It’s mostly 30 minute videos about astronomy. I recommend starting with the newer ones.

LucasWaffyWaf,

I like https://youtu.be/O9SR_f9oXKs?si=aVWChAvy11hF4EtM! He’s a Dutch fella that does videos of him playing Doom levels with live commentary, all done in single takes with no saves. He also does Doom analysis videos, which are fantastic deep dives into the code and mechanics of the old Doom games, but I love his play throughs as sleep aid since he keeps the game volume low and has this low, soothingly calm voice and laid back quality.
