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

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

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!

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

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 FromSoft games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

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

StezStix Fix has a soothing channel where he fixes electronics.

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.

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

Pete Complete, in particular hhis 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.

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

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.
