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.

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.

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!

mnemonicmonkeys,

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

new_guy,

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

pastel_de_airfryer,

m.youtube.com/

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

Probably NileRed if he isnt handling explosives…
Some vTubers from Hololive have awesome voices and the live stream content isnt packed with interesting content

melooone,

Definitely NileRed for me. Started watching his video about bulletproof wood yesterday and fell asleep after around 17 minutes. It’s something about his voice and presentation that makes it really relaxing for me.

Just dont comment it without context in his video :D

melooone,

Lol I see how that sounds a bit bad. I rewatched the entire thing today, its actually really interesting.

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.

Vengefu1Tuna,

I’m surprised no one has mentioned VaatiVidya yet. His voice is so calm and relaxing, he’s a fantastic narrator. His content is mainly lore about FromSoftware games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

Why9,

This! I had to search for Vaatividya in order to find this comment.

His prepare to cry series as well as all of his lore videos could keep me going for ages!

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.

Switchblade,

Whisky.com! Smooth, German! Very serious about quality whisky.

JohnDClay,

Baumgartner Restoration has one of the most smooth voices I’ve fond. Very chill process even to watch.

Foureyes Furniture I also find very soothing.

EarWorm,

I like The Spiffing Brit (game exploits), The Backlogs (challenge runs) and JoshStrifeHayes (MMO stuff).

GyozaPower,

For speeling purposes have you tried ASMR content?

For example Let’s Find Out makes ASMR content focused on anstronomy and physics stuff and mainly whispering things. Example: youtu.be/U6M7_Pt0d14?si=0By2q3YJ-r95K0TD.

You also have The French Whisperer ASMR, who does a bit of everything (history, some science, reading stories…)

For pure ASMR (but non informative nor anything) RaffyTaffyASMR puts out some solid content.

faintwhenfree,

ASMR sounds of natural things okay, ASMR talking sounds creepy to me no matter the topic, the moment I feel sleepy I get this feeling that they are sweet talking me and will kidnap me to sell my kidney when I fall asleep.

GyozaPower,

XD. I do get relaxed with them, but to be sincere, there have been a few times when I’ve woken up while listening to one of those and my half-asleep ass, not understanding a dingle word (even though it was english), felt like I was in the middle of an alien abduction.
