I spent 48 days aboard an ore freighter on the Great Lakes a few years back. My cabin was just above the engine room. One would think that would make for a miserable sleeping experience but it was honestly some of the most therapeutic sleep I’d ever gotten. Nothing can compare to a 1949 built steam turbine running full boar across Lake Michigan in the dead of night. All 7,000 horses of it. This vid is a fairly close replication…
On the nights when my mind is careening full tilt towards insomnia, I reach for THIS video. Idk - somehow the sound of the wind & ice and the deep throbbing of the engine somehow calms the poor, racing bastard of a rabbit in my mind; it somehow gentles the soul. I listen to either nature sounds or other ASMR videos every night to help me sleep (drives my husband bonkers, but it really helps!). I have constant severe chronic pain and will do ANYTHING to distract my mind from it... 14 surgeries & counting, at this point. But, as most folks who turn to videos like this to sleep, study, paint, draw, write, etc, I find this one particularly soothing. G'night, everybody. ❤
Perhaps you should do what I did and go live on the ocean. Anxiety is a disconnect from our natural selves, i think. I think something about primitive survival is the cure as we keep synthesizing problems and solutions in our society
@@jasonmaruszak812 Well, I might consider it except for two reasons: 1. I'm about 1,000 miles away from the closest ocean, and 2. I am TERRIFIED of the open water (as in "ocean"). Just too many scary BIG things swimming around down there! 😅 But what u say has a ring of truth to it: we are all too disconnected from nature & our beautiful world. I would probably do better living in the remote mountains somewhere; the idea of working hard just to survive has a wonderful appeal. Just as u said - people actually create most of our problems. But thank u for your words - meant a lot! ☺️
@@djmagicvnovReally? May I ask why? Or do you only like nature sounds. One of my other favorites is "Driving in the Rain" sounds....the low sounds if the engine, with rain spattering on the windows with the windshield wipers going off regularly. It makes me think back to the days when I was a little girl...all snuggled up in the backseat with a pillow & blanket (and my doll) with my young, strong Daddy behind the wheel, quietly driving us home. Good memories!! ☺️ But I do hope you are able to find some type of sounds to help soothe your mind and are enjoyable to you! Blessings from Texas!❤
Hope you find relief soon. I had endometriosis and suffered from chronic pain for years. Had surgery and it didn't help. I started weight lifting and that was the only thing that saved me.
I’m sure the Franklin Expedition was extremely relaxing. Lead poisoning, scurvy, cannibalism. Like a spa. Or maybe Shackleton is more your vibe? A little bit of rowing in a tiny boat from Elephant island for weeks to reach a whaling outpost? Ahhhhh, bliss.
Makes me wish I had recorded some of our more mild katabatic storms in the Arctic. I miss the sounds of the trailing ice as it blew across the surface of the Ice sheet.
Never thought I'd enjoy reading comments on a video like this. I love hearing everyone's stories. Also at the same time, yes i can legit feel the relaxation this sound is causing. Weirdly nice and calming. God its wonderful
That kinda freaked me out, too, until I realized that that's just the average sleep time people who use this video have. When they re-open the video, it has them start around that timestamp, which counts for that heuristic graph.
I think, at least the way I do: Count around 2 hours before end of the video to play while falling asleep and when it finishes it goes quiet, soaring noises from happening when you are in one of the lighter stages of the sleep cycle and saving usage of the speaker(s) used for this purpose.
This is my favorite, favorite, FAVORITE sleeping video. It is not boring. But it's so relaxing. The sounds of the engine, the ice breaking, the water. It is just super awesome. And all the sounds are present but very gentle.
Thank you so much for bringing this back; I've been going nuts trying to find it. This paired with a particular long bossa nova jazz vid is my holy grail for studying and helps keep me calm and focused whenever I've procrastinated on a paper until the last goddamn minute and have to speedrun the entire thing over the course of an evening
@@geog26 Sorry for long response; comment notifications have been a bit buggy for me. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y-JQ-RCyPpQ.html&ab_channel=CafeMusicBGMchannel If youtube thanos snaps it because it's a url, the name of the vid is 'Relaxing Bossa Nova & Jazz Music for Study - Smooth Jazz Music - Background Music' by the channel 'Cafe Music BGM channel'
This has helped me when working from home. Sometimes it feels a little too quiet and my favourite music can be a little distracting, so this fills the void.
@@Oliverii as someone who lived very close to the arctic polar circle I can tell that okay, maybe you do not want to stay out that much in the cold, but the peace you feel when you are surrounded by snow and only snow is all you can see, you experiment a kind of peace a loneliness (in a positive way) that you aren't allowed to reach in other parts of the world. (Talking about rural, semirural areas)
@@Oliverii Haha yea I suspected that. For me the worst part was when the snow started to melt and you couldn't even walk on the streets, I nearly went through January and February going out just for the groceries and university. I missed the sun but I could cope with that, maybe because I had never seen snow in my life prior to that and I was just like a little kid in that situation haha
I put this on and am immediately transported to being with Franklin on his ill fated mission to find the northern passage. We are stuck for the second year and the food is tainted and we are all sick and dying but we must rouse ourselves enough to try to walk hundreds of miles to save our lives.
I didnt know you had this. The sound quality is SUPER impressive; its eerie and encapsulates what ive experienced in the open ocean. Terrifying yet beautiful in its uncaring nature.
thank you!!! This calms extreme anxiety (misophonia) whenever you hear a noisy neighbor. Putting on your headphones is like entering another world where you feel safe in the rain.
I'm glad I found this. It reminds me of when I was stationed aboard a polar icebreaker for 2 years. This is pretty close to the real deal, just without the engine blowdowns and occasional noises from the crew throughout the night. Overall great great video 10/10
To the random person reading this comment : I don’t know what you’re going through... but I do know that you are beautiful on the inside and out. I know that you are worth so much. I know that you’re going to get through whatever it is that feels like it’s holding you back. keep going.
где то страшно далеко внизу, в машинном отделение, убаюкивающе работает дизель генератор... иногда в скулу корабля плещет океан... и еле еле различимый зов или китов или касаток... ах молодость, молодость...)) Спасибо! Никогда не думал что кто то такое выложит.....
@@firecracker187 The wind-class icebreaker was built in WWII. 269 feet long. There were seven built and were in service until the 1970's. A Square Knot Sailor is a sailor that has crossed the Arctic Circle, the International Date Line, the Equator, and the Antarctic Circle. What's so funny? 🙂
Aye... brings back memories of the great freeze of '98...... uncle Albert went to get help..... course, help never came! And it wasn't until the spring thaw that we found old Albert, frozen solid inside a giant block of ice! We dragged that chuck of ice with Albert inside to the barn shed, and let him slowly thaw out.. wasn't until April 15 that a shivering Albert blinked his eyes and said, "where am I?" We gave him whiskey and coffee and soon he was in good spirits and we all laughed and danced and cheered! He went to bed.... and the next mornin' we found him.... stone cold dead!
I feel like Frankenstein! Like, I'll look over the edge of my bed and see the vastness of cold and dark and that horrible monster on sleds speeding up to catch me.
Wow. I adore this. I feel like I'm on a ship in my cabin with a porthole and looking out as something large with glowing red eyes is watching me from a few chunky ice blocks away... the ice creaking away
It’s even better in a large truck sleeper with a subwoofer and good high range speakers while the motor’s idling… It’s just so much more immersive, that’s all.
We love it bc we know we are safe while struggling with anxious thoughts so we can in our minds finally relax. Much needed break mentally and physically too. Today i noticed my face was stiff. Like really what next all my muscles are tense from stress and anxiety and depression.
I can't express enough how much this video helps me. I'm processing complex trauma and this is one of the best sounds to fight my anxiety. I sleep because of this video. Thank you a million for searching, finding it, and sharing with us. Be well, friend ❤
I'm working at a polar research station. Struggling to get any shut eye after taking in a stray husky that has started behaving strangely. My colleague noticed some tentacles bursting out of its face and thinks it might be host to an alien parasite. He suggested shooting it asap but I said we should sleep on it and decide in the morning.
Please, try to corroborate this if you read this comment. Most people that "watch" this kind of videos slept around 6 hours or maybe 6 and a half. How do i know that? they put this kind of videos to fall asleep. If you go to the time bar you will see that the most reproduced part is at that time, like 6 hours or 6 hours and a half. It is the moment when they wake up and stop the video. Try with another "sleep" videos like this on youtube and you will notice that. Apologies for my English.
First time sleeping with this on party speaker with blue lights. Made my entire bedroom feel like the Arctic with northern blue lights streaking across the ceiling. I slept for 8 solid hours, first falling asleep to the blue cold and then waking up to it all..
Yes! It has that weird beep in the background! There was another idling sound out with the same ship that was missing that beep, which, for some reason, is ESSENTIAL.
The original had a more realistic engine idle with other ship sounds like a bell and distant horn. Also there was the sounds of the ice bending against the steel hull.
OMG, I remember listening to this creepy video, can't believe you put it up! I was on a freighter back then, in a month I'll be heading to the Circle, this'll come in handy!
"We were stuck in that damn ice sheet for 3 days... bones began to chill... then we started getting chased by this "thing" the locals called a tuunbaq...."
Ice ice baby all right stop collaborate and listen ice is back with a brand new invention something grabs a hold me tightly flow like a harpoon daily and nightly. Yall ready to go nite nite...
And suddenly there came a tapping at the hull. Like a leviathan checking a nut to see if it's good to eat. Freeze to death or be eaten by a seamonster...that is the question.
