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 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.

      Technology Connections sounds straight up my alley, thanks!

      PBS Spacetime is already a standby. I’ve seen all of them at least twice. I’m always up for more watches.

        If Technology Connections is up your alley check out LGR if you haven’t. He has a very smooth voice, talks mostly about 90’s and early 2000’s computer nostalgia, with smooth jazz in the background. We fall asleep watching him regularly as it’s just a calm, chill time.

      Technology Connections is awesome. He’s the one who got me to understand how old CRT televisions could put a picture on a radio signal that could be picked up by both color and B&W TV’s.
