This guy's videos. He has the perfect cadence and voice for it, and the right video length too. To be perfectly honest I have no idea if the content of the videos is good, but they're very useful.
This... JMG is the best. Him and Isaac Arthur...
"Words for granted" podcast
Woodworking or restoring old appliances and tools.
Pink Floyd: Dark side of the moon
Feldup, the French version of scare theater or other channels like that.
If it is really noisy or I need to sleep during the day (working shifts), waves sound from my Ozlo sleepbuds.
Long edits of Jerma streams :D
I’ve heard of that fella a lot. Happen to have any links?
Usually nothing but silence, but if I can not sleep or am thinking to loud I try to distract myself with some glitch in the matrix or anything by as the Raven dreams.
I like to listen to podcasts/youtube videos about religion. The two I use the most are Religion for Breakfast and Let's Talk Religion. I also sometimes listen to "Fall of Civilizations Podcast". I always get bored if I do nothing but listen to podcast, which helps me sleep.
I do wish I could listen to that last one though, since I like history and the production quality is good. A video can hold my attention for longer than a podcast for some reason.
Any sitcom made by Greg Daniels or Michael Schur.
Horror movie soundtracks
Silence. It's not uncommon for me to fall asleep watching a Jaws or Alien movie, either.
Dr Roy Casagranda lectures on YouTube lately.
Austin school channel: https://youtube.com/@theaustinschool?si=5_mJ-mcugKPS1GST
"Content"
Zelda OOT or Majora's Mask speed runs.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Seinfeld. I know they are always yelling but it soothes me. I think me visualizing the scenes as I listen helps.
Occasionally I fall asleep reading but I'm usually too interested in what I'm reading to sleep. Same with music it's either too interesting or too boring.
Spraycan artists videos on mute will put me to sleep. Could be someone on the street or at home.
Astrum and or SEA. calm space documentaries. interesting enough to hold my attention and keep my mind from racing, not critical enough that I'm afraid to miss it.
Machining or lathe work videos. For some reason, it's very satisfying for some reason.
Any video on WWII
Oliech. Belgian streamer who plays the Battleground mode of Hearthstone. I don't play that game but I watch his videos on Youtube and whenever I do, I fell asleep and usually sleep well.
Otherwise, silence.
I go to sleep listening to music. Some of my favorite sleep time artist:
Carbon based lifeform, Solar fields, Aes Dana, Emancipator, Album leaf, Random Rab, Sync 24, Ulrich Schnauss
Dreamscape ASMR (YouTube channel)
Every vid is a thoroughly thought out and immersive artistic experience, unlike many ASMR channels with regular soft talking in the room.
The inside of my eyelids have this weird shapes and light show, work every time.
