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.

    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: https://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.

      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.

        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.
