What weird videos relax you?

Recently discovered TikTok (I know, late to the game!) and usually watch videos in bed before going to sleep.

Some are just crap, but I like watching the paranormal ones, glitches in the matrix etc...

However, I've come across videos, usually live ones of pearls being shelled and they are oddly satisfying and relaxing to watch.

So am I the only one? lol. Are there any weird ones you like watching?

I like watching Auriikatarina and Midwest Magic Cleaning (basically hoarder houses being deep cleaned), also like watching filthy rugs/carpets being deep cleaned and restored. Very soothing.

Soapy sponge scrubbing
Compression machine
Carpet cleaning
Car valets
I don't like the glass bottles being rolled down the stairs though

Soap cutting, people exploring abandoned buildings, ghost stories.

Wood turning
Looking around tiny houses
Power washing
Dirty rugs being cleaned
Cakes being decorated

Fancy nail art and intricate updo hairstyles

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 28/09/2023 14:59

ASMR videos of close up looking for headlice, like the nit nurse used to do in school!
Videos of hair brushing/hair playing
Videos of muscles being massaged to get the knots out

Yes I am weird

Cooking videos relax me, I never knew!

saltnsaucey · 28/09/2023 15:03

Cab views on beautiful train / air journeys (Alps etc) on YouTube. Some are several hours long, but really stunning and absorbing.

Hohoholymoley · 28/09/2023 15:05

Japanese overnight ferry videos. Or overnight train videos anywhere. So relaxing.

YewandOak · 28/09/2023 15:05

I don't use TikTok but have recently discovered the rug cleaning ones on YouTube.
Oddly relaxing and very satisfying.

Dinnerlady12 · 28/09/2023 15:07

Ok I'm embarrassed to admit this one but ear wax removal Blush. Can not stand the pimple popper videos though I've never watched one and never will.

Jellycats4life · 28/09/2023 15:07

Scalp massage / facial ASMR

alloalloallo · 28/09/2023 15:08

The ones where they’re reading out Reddit posts with some kind of random video backgrounds.

Pimple Popping videos 😳

🤮

focusonthenumbers · 28/09/2023 15:15

For some reason cocoonspa facial video on YT sends me to sleep every time seems to be once they get to the face scrub bit 😂

Papergirl1968 · 28/09/2023 15:16

Similar to a couple of PPs - back, shoulder, head massage ones, but not ASMR. I just find the whispering and other noises weird.

VeridicalVagabond · 28/09/2023 15:16

There's a guy on YouTube who makes tiny dolls house sized food in a tiny dolls house sized kitchen and I can't stop watching them, it's so relaxing.

catnipevergreen · 28/09/2023 15:24

Pool cleaning
Jet washing
Dirty houses being cleaned

Olinguito · 28/09/2023 15:44

Hair cutting and dog grooming.

TheNoodlesIncident · 28/09/2023 15:56

The wood turning ones where the bloke (it's always a bloke) puts a weird chunk of tree on a lathe and creates a wonderful vase or something. So satisfying.

I once watched a video of a man jet washing someone's flagstones. I think I was hypnotised, I couldn't stop until he was done.

I like the sound of washing dirty rugs and carpets, could get on board with that. Anything that gets you all relaxed and sleepy or at a minimum, wondering vaguely how they manage to do that...

ItsSoStimulatingBeingYourHat · 28/09/2023 16:00

Houses being cleaned- especially draining boards.
I also find it relaxing watching people unpack shopping 😬 Not fancy show off ‘hauls’ just things like biscuits and tomatoes!

I learned how to cut my own hair during lockdown. I've got very short hair so I watched lots of mens tutorials with clippers. I'm still watching them.
