Sleep Whispers

Harris whispers. That's the core of this show, and for the subset of insomnia sufferers who respond to ASMR-style audio, it's extremely effective. Each 30 to 37 minute episode features gently whispered content that rotates between bedtime stories, trivia rounds, guided meditations, poems, and "Whisperpedia" segments where Harris reads curious Wikipedia articles in a hushed voice. The trivia episodes are a clever touch because they give your brain just enough to chew on without revving it up. The show has been running since 2016 with over 430 total episodes, though only 71 are available for free. The full catalog of 600-plus episodes across the ASMR & Insomnia Network is available through a Silk+ subscription at $9.99 a month. The 4.3-star rating from over 1,100 reviews reflects a genuine split: people who respond to whispered audio tend to love it, while those who find whispering irritating or creepy obviously don't. There's no middle ground, really. If ASMR works for you, this is one of the longest-running and most polished whisper-based sleep podcasts available. Harris is also behind several other shows on the network, including Calm History, which uses the same gentle approach with historical content.
