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:
-
Have smooth, hypnotic voices,
-
have content that won’t give me uncomfortable dreams (I’m a very visual, realistic, and impressionable dreamer), and
-
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.
I should mention audiobooks. I love listening to audiobooks, and sleeping to them is also great. There’s some excellent works out there, especially voice work by Steven Fry, that’s just magic to listen to.

Oh yeah. And Stephen Fry is a national treasure.
I don’t know why, but I can’t sleep to them, though. I have to listen for some reason, and my brain gets too engaged.
It might be because it’s a new story. Try listening to a story you’ve already heard before.
I find when I go to sleep with audiobooks, it feels like I’m awake for hours. But the next day when I try to pick up where I left off on the audiobook, I’m usually 5 to 10 minutes in. But it felt like hours.
