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.

ndupont,

Hardware Haven is very calm and articulate. His (home made, I think) background music is really zen.

Bahalex,

Madseasonshow. I found him when World of Warcraft Classic launched a handful of years ago. Thinking about it, he and Joe Pera have a very similar speech style.

AnaGram,

My current go-to is Paul Cooper’s Fall of Civilizations Podcast

Dranx,

I go to sleep with the History of Philosophy: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/…/id396903391.

Everyone has different things they want for going to sleep, and this might not be right for you. But for me this is perfect because:

  • its just the right level of boring. If it were any more interesting id stay awake to listen, if it were any more boring I’d turn it off.
  • its not multiple people talking, because my brain thinks it needs to stay awake to be part of the conversation.
  • i cant do video, needs to be audio.
  • his voice is reasonably relaxing.

I seriously can barely get through 1 or 1 episodes before going to sleep. Another similar one is Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History.

civylw,

Try Drachinifel. It’s about ships and naval stuff from previous centuries. Best sleep. youtube.com/

Taiatari,

Biffa, he plays cities skylines and it’s super relaxing

Hyperreality,

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds

Especially their podcasts and audio dramas.

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.

EarWorm,

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

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.

Switchblade,

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

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.

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!

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.

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.
