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.

    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.
