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.

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

baronofclubs,

Didn’t see Baumgartner Restoration here yet. Incredibly soothing art restoration

Meltrax,

Ozzyman reviews. I sleep violently.

GenesisJones,

History of the entire universe

And earth

And humanity is their newest channel

dodeca,

If you like video games, try a search for a video game of choice and add the words “role play”.

I was playing a lot of Kenshi and I found some YouTubers who make long playthroughs of games. Specifically I enjoyed Rycon Roleplays Kenshi which was something like 80 videos and each about an hr long. It would put me to sleep.

Danny Harmon of Distant Signal, if you’re interested in railroading. I could listen to him talk at length about literally anything for hours.

AnalogyAddict,

You should try classical music.

archonet,

Danooct1 was this for me, though I’ve no idea if you’d be interested in old computer viruses.

bugieman,

Ethoslab and Docm77 are both older Minecraft YouTubers who have a pretty chill voice and calm demeaner, Etho especially.

ThaijsClan,

Honestly Kitboga is just so soothing to listen to

Ilflish,

Northernlion, specifically his non-twitch content. I also enjoy his twitch content but he goes reaction mode for it and it’s not the same rhythm

mojo,

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

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.

I’ve slept with each of these before:

LockpickingLawyer (lockpicking videos)

Trent Lenarski (multi content. specifically his Stardew Valley playlist is nice and relaxed)

Pekinwoof (streamer. Keep to his first channel for sleeping. Channel 2 is louder)

Talking Feds with Harry Litman (lawyer who talks law in politics)

Sean Carroll (podcasts. Various science topics)

Sam Harris (podcasts. Some episodes can get loud when he’s playing recordings of news events.)

Dontfearthereaper123,

Idk if I just have a dirty mind or whether that was intentional lol
