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.

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.

Switchblade,

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

Hyperreality,

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

Especially their podcasts and audio dramas.

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.

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

Not a “youtuber”, but Jason Stephenson - Floating Amongst Stars might help you.

TheWhabba,

For gaming I’d go with ‘Midnight Snap’ long let’s plays designed for being on while you sleep. No shouting, no loud laughs or anything, just chill rambling

ShunkW,

StezStix Fix has a soothing channel where he fixes electronics.

I listen to my favorite British game show (QI and “8 out of 10 cat’s does countdown”) or the 10 hour loop of Joe Pera talks you to sleep youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg?si=aMDe0U0oyoNmAbVR

Sheltr,

For me it has been Slay The Spire streamer Baalorlord. His cozy sub club is just too cozy for me some times.

Northernlion – He plays video games, but his banter is very easy-going. I especially like his older videos where it’s just him (not reacting to chat while streaming) rolling with his stream of consciousness while he plays the game and talks about it and life in general.

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