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.

    I go to sleep with the History of Philosophy: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/history-of-philosophy-without-any-gaps/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.
