Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

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.

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

I'm surprised no one has mentioned VaatiVidya yet. His voice is so calm and relaxing, he's a fantastic narrator. His content is mainly lore about FromSoftware games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

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

Ooh my time to shine with my long list

1. T90 Official plays age of empires games very soothing voice
2. Agadmator plays chess videos very rhythmic voice
3. 3blue1brown maths videos, even if you hate math he has a voice that is so calm
4. Real Civil Engineer plays indie or building games is a bit weird, 90% he is nice but sometimes he gets excited and I've been woken from my sleep, but still good as I fall back right after
5. Kurtzgezat science videos with great narration (may hurt your dreams tho)
6. Nicole Coenen woodcutting videos great voice great pace only downside very few videos in total so you burn through her videos quite fast.
7. Technology Connections, great videos about obscure day to day tech mazing voice
8. Primitive technology, no words a lot of nature sounds of him building stuff without technology

I'll add more if I remember.

The narrator from the game the Stanley parable

perun

If you've ever been in the military, and had to endure hour-long PowerPoint presentations, and felt very sleepy... This guy is for you.

Perun does deep dives into defense economics, for modern-day conflicts. Extremely interesting stuff. Easy to fall asleep to. Highly recommend.

Death by PowerPoint!

has one of the most smooth voices I've fond. Very chill process even to watch.

I also find very soothing.

Steve from GN Nexus

https://www.youtube.com/@Luetin09 and https://www.youtube.com/@baldermort for Warhammer 40K stuff. But that may break rule 2

https://www.youtube.com/@ScottsThoughtsPokemon for Pokemon Yellow playthrough with every Pokemon and back porting some gen 2 Pokemon to gen 1.
If you prefer red and blue there is https://www.youtube.com/@Jrose11 but his voice may not be rule 1.

Professor David Kipping and his Cool Worlds youtube series / podcast.

https://www.youtube.com/@CoolWorldsLab/featured (sorry, linking to the channel instead of a specific video so can't use piped it seems

Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep

The whole series isn't on YouTube, unfortunately, but it is SO worth your time and fits the bill like nothing else.

I watch a lot of tech related youtubers to fall asleep.

Techmoan, LGR, Bigclivedotcom, Usagi Electric, Tech tangents, technology connections.

Non-tech related youtubers: Baumgartner restorations, atomic shrimp, ashens

Pete Complete, in particular his RimWorld series. His voice, relaxed tone and slow pacing with a lot of pause in his speech puts me to sleep even when I'm not trying to.

Try Drachinifel. It's about ships and naval stuff from previous centuries. Best sleep. https://youtube.com/@Drachinifel?si=hiHGva5RXNeSVopY

My big two are long form chemistry videos (codyslab, nilered) and old archived hours of the first version of the AI show Nothing Forever. Very easy listening IMO and should hit most of your bases. Maybe also look for podcasts on a topic you like, those can be hours long

Didn't see Baumgartner Restoration here yet. Incredibly soothing art restoration

If you like D&D then I can suggest D&D Deep Dive - roughly hour long videos building weird combos for D&D play but with the smoothest voice ever!

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.

https://www.proofreadingservices.com/pages/audiobooks-read-by-stephen-fry

Thevolgun... Just don't listen to the really scary scps .....

I love Wendigoon, he does interesting long term stories and is really calm

The History channels:

• History of the Universe
  • Found them on this channel
• History of the Earth
• History of Humankind
  • This is their new channel that they started just a short while ago.

It's really good long form fomat. You don't have to watch anything and just listen. It's long enough for me to fall asleep and not hear the whole video so next night I just go close enough to the end of what I heard/remember I heard and just continue listening. I don't mind relistening at all - I always miss something so I always learn something new.

Edit: the awesome thing is that these videos are told basically like a story. The narrator's voice is calming, there are no loud noises or anything. He really tells it like a good night story.

Ethoslab and Docm77 are both older Minecraft YouTubers who have a pretty chill voice and calm demeaner, Etho especially.

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.

If you like video games, try a search for a video game of choice and add the words "role play".

I was playing a lot of Kenshi and I found some YouTubers who make long playthroughs of games. Specifically I enjoyed Rycon Roleplays Kenshi which was something like 80 videos and each about an hr long. It would put me to sleep.

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.

Dan Olson

"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.

John Michael Godier, great sleep ready content about science and science fiction. One of my faves.

Let's talk religion. Barely sociable. Lemmino

Probably NileRed if he isnt handling explosives...
Some vTubers from Hololive have awesome voices and the live stream content isnt packed with interesting content

StezStix Fix has a soothing channel where he fixes electronics.

Madseasonshow. I found him when World of Warcraft Classic launched a handful of years ago. Thinking about it, he and Joe Pera have a very similar speech style.

My current go-to is Paul Cooper's Fall of Civilizations Podcast

I like The Spiffing Brit (game exploits), The Backlogs (challenge runs) and JoshStrifeHayes (MMO stuff).

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 https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg?si=aMDe0U0oyoNmAbVR

James May, reassembler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_jgBrUdtEg&list=PLyl5ty6OTbcoHPEVeH8k2Ke1DVcYwqELa

Cracking the Cryptic always lulls me to sleep. Specially Simon.

Highly recommend History of the Universe and its sister channels, it is incredibly calming

History of the entire universe

And earth

And humanity is their newest channel

Honestly Kitboga is just so soothing to listen to

Northernlion, specifically his non-twitch content. I also enjoy his twitch content but he goes reaction mode for it and it's not the same rhythm

Lemmino hits 1 and 3, and sometimes 2 (some of his videos are about dark topics, some are more fun or wonderous). His voice is very nice to listen to. Smooth, low, and a relatively thick, but perfectly understandable Danish accent.

To boot, he's one of the best goddamned researchers I've ever seen. For example, he did a documentary on Jack the Ripper. Instead of just going over the same beats everyone else does, this madlad poured over dozens of police reports, newspaper clippings, and eyewitness accounts from the time of the events, (more than 150 years old), and then compared those to more contemporary research to make a more complete study. He somehow put all of this together into the most cohesive description of the events I've ever seen, all with detailed and accurate CGI visuals (nothing graphic, just to show locations and timelines and such).

Really, really dedicated guy with a huge amount of integrity in his work, lots of creative flair, and no annoying biases or wild assumptions.

My wife puts on RyconRoleplays or ChristopherOdd in the background sometimes when she’s having trouble sleeping. Rycon might have the voice you’re looking for; Odd’s narration depends on the game he’s playing, he likes to set the mood in more atmospheric games, and he reads out every bit of lore.

Clarkesworld is a sci-fi magazine with free audio versions on their site, plus on Spotify as a podcast. I’d recommend “The very Pulse of the Machine” personally as an intro. It was adapted into a great episode of “Love, Death + Robots”.

Noah Caldwell-Gervais is my go-to for just relaxing audio. He does very in depth coverage of game franchises talking about how they evolved and the ways the mechanics support the narrative or run counter to it. Very chill and hypnotizing voice

https://youtube.com/@broadcaststsatic?si=r1mXzscOKAAZCNsI

Vi Hart is calm and mathy. Here's the story of Wind & Mr ug.

Wristwatch revival is a go to for me !

Wolfpack345 plays naval war games and has a voice like that. He usually does slow and strategic submarine stuff. Puts me right to sleep.

Whisky.com! Smooth, German! Very serious about quality whisky.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds

Especially their podcasts and audio dramas.

Ozzyman reviews. I sleep violently.

Gopher, I found his channel learning how to mod various Bethesda games over 10 years ago but he has let's plays for various games that are great and put me to sleep when I'm tired

For gaming I'd go with 'Midnight Snap' long let's plays designed for being on while you sleep. No shouting, no loud laughs or anything, just chill rambling

I've heard there are a lot of people who listen to PBS Space Time to fall asleep.

Dan Worrall

ZFG. He has a nice deep voice. He mostly does Zelda Ocarina of Time speed runs, but as of lately he has focused on playing Zelda randomizers.

Have you tried ASMR videos? I'm sure there are lots of creators there that will hit all 3 for you.

Wirtual - trackmania streamer and ancient Egyptian expert

Purge (https://youtube.com/@PurgeGamers) is pretty good. He typically posts full, un-cut dota games, and is lower energy throughout. There's not big volume or tone changes, and they're long enough that you should always be able to fall asleep during them.

https://m.youtube.com/@sea_space

This one is my favorite. It's mostly 30 minute videos about astronomy. I recommend starting with the newer ones.

I like brutal moose, he has had a whole slew of different content through the years from video games, cooking and shopping outings that are all funny, meanwhile his second channel moose2 has streams that are calm and great to sleep too.

Real calm voice, jazz in the background usually, still entertaining. Just don't put on any point and click adventure games to go to sleep because all the noises will be clicked repeatedly lol.

The Librarian for me, no competition. He analyzes horror games/stories so well and the dude has a very pleasant voice.

I like ! He's a Dutch fella that does videos of him playing Doom levels with live commentary, all done in single takes with no saves. He also does Doom analysis videos, which are fantastic deep dives into the code and mechanics of the old Doom games, but I love his play throughs as sleep aid since he keeps the game volume low and has this low, soothingly calm voice and laid back quality.

Warlockracy, but I don't think that's normal.

Danny Harmon of Distant Signal, if you're interested in railroading. I could listen to him talk at length about literally anything for hours.

Danooct1 was this for me, though I've no idea if you'd be interested in old computer viruses.

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.

Don't know if they're on the tube, but I never made it through an episode of Brian Cox's Cosmos without nodding off.

Hardware Haven is very calm and articulate. His (home made, I think) background music is really zen.

No idea about YouTubers, but I sometimes put on Nemo's Dreamscapes to sleep. It's just a music ambience but I like it.

Posy.

Not a "youtuber", but Jason Stephenson - Floating Amongst Stars might help you.

I've slept with each of these before:

LockpickingLawyer (lockpicking videos)

Trent Lenarski (multi content. specifically his Stardew Valley playlist is nice and relaxed)

Pekinwoof (streamer. Keep to his first channel for sleeping. Channel 2 is louder)

Talking Feds with Harry Litman (lawyer who talks law in politics)

Sean Carroll (podcasts. Various science topics)

Sam Harris (podcasts. Some episodes can get loud when he's playing recordings of news events.)

For me its andrew from Babish Culinary Universe

For me it has been Slay The Spire streamer Baalorlord. His cozy sub club is just too cozy for me some times.

You should try classical music.

IPAT

Papa Meat

he might give you nightmares though lol

ChessNetwork

The guy who makes the vita carnie series and his art tutorials might not fit the second criteria

Biffa, he plays cities skylines and it's super relaxing

Manlybadasshero

Dude does a lot of indie games especially horror. But his voice is really soothing and he's really calm so I end up falling asleep a lot

Northernlion for general gaming and PekinWoof for League of Legends gameplay are my choices

Northernlion -- He plays video games, but his banter is very easy-going. I especially like his older videos where it's just him (not reacting to chat while streaming) rolling with his stream of consciousness while he plays the game and talks about it and life in general.

Lmao just close your eyes
