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.

    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.
