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.

Northernlion’s Binding of Isaac series is notorious for putting people to sleep regularly. Definitely a must-listen in my books

ShunkW,

I miss old NL before he was always interacting with twitch chat. I get why he made the move, and I like a lot of his newer content, but I feel like he was funnier when he was just bullshitting to himself

I hear that. I’ve gotten used to it over the years and do see its value, but I do miss his oldschool Isaac-esque narration.

Sinvicta automatically knocks me out hahahahaha. “Heeeeeywelcomebackevrrybody” on the floor

whereBeWaldo,

Exactly my sentiments! I don’t really enjoy the twitch culture. Recent streams are all about commenters making snarky comments and NL trying to outsmart them I feel like. I still enjoy his unprompted insane takes a lot though.

jkdm,

Same, it’s a lot of old man yelling at kids on the internet.

EndOfLine,

“The Why Files” and “Kutzergart”.

If I’m really not ready to sleepy, I find the content interesting. If I am ready to sleep but my brain won’t shut down then I ignore the words and I find the voices very soothing and relaxing.

LillyPip,

That’s exactly the quality I’m looking for, thanks!

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.

bdazman,

Youre looking for Bismuth, the technical speedrun communicator. Hes perfect in everyway.

Also theres Tomatoanus, also speedrun comminicator, excellent work.

Isaac Arthur is a futurist I like for this, hell give you wonderful dreams.

3blueonebrowns visual communicatio style is excellent but ive fallen asleep to his videos tons of times.

Chyrosan22 has the voice of God and he reviews mechanical keyboards, absolutely love it

Donoteat01, justin rosczknyaiacs channel, has perfect shit in his Power Planning and Politics series, hypnotic, funny, and entrancing

Drachinifel is a naval historiographer whos excellent, highly reccomend his video on the second pacific sauadron

Emplemon also has some excellent content

Food Wishes is chef johns youtube channel and he has a very unique way if talking that i love

Hypohystericalhistory has excellent longform documentaries about warstuff

Hope thats enough thats off the top of my head and is through H of my subscriptions lol

LillyPip,

This list will keep me for a while.

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

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?
