Journey to Prehistoric Oceans (ASMR)

In this bedtime story made to help you relax or fall asleep, I take you on a journey through time and space. We explore the appearance and evolution of life in Earth's oceans, from the first microorganisms to the diversification of life forms that happened during the Cambrian and Ordovician explosions, to our time.

[@awsomewolfman124]

Thanks for this amazing content man I'm a 22 year old guy from Ohio and this shit makes me wanna snuggle in, it's like my uncle is telling me a bedtime story. You help my restless nights become at least a bit better.

[@evie5375]

i cant tell you how excited i got when i saw this

[@BelleMichele99]

learning today in anatomy class about how if you hear crackles in the lungs it’s because their heart is failing so we give them medicine to stop the angiotensin converting enzyme so the adrenal glands don’t make aldosterone so our kidneys don’t reabsorb water and keeps the blood pressure down which can treat the heart failure and then remembering we literally came from fish that just wiggled their way up to the dirt on a tiny speak of dust spinning in a chaotic huge universe which will be all said and done in the blink of an eye and there’s almost no chance for any other form of life to know about our society is so f*cking mind blowing…………

[@JeannieBASMR]

Tonight's sleep medicine - if I can draw away from the great info! Can't wait!! 😘

[@shreddednerves]

My favorite woman right here 💕

[@politecat4236]

Even my cat settles in especialy close/near to my phone at night when I put you on low volume to sleep ! Thank you for your work in helping so many relax, enjoy learning new topics and enjoy healing sleep🙏 truly an oasis in a desert to know I can always turn to your videos when i wish to relax and sleep 🏜

[@TheaSvendsen]

Lol, your cat knows what’s the good stuff! I have dogs now but, in my opinion, the purring from a cat is ASMR in itself - I miss that sound.

[@proto_arkbit3100]

Your cat is highly educated in the field of prehistoric aquatic-life

[@JivinRed]

You are an artist, French Whisperer. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

[@goblin3359]

I cannot tell you exactly why it is so soothing to watch you brush a shell with a paintbrush, but here we are. Brilliant work, as always. Your voice is like the antithesis of stress and anxiety.

[@rob7068]

Your work is just beautiful and appreciated by so many of us. My eleven year old son always asks to hear you. His brain, like mine, struggles to relax at night and your wonderful voice and content help us enormously. Thank you so much.

[@kovu7191]

Prehistoric ocean life is my favourite time period to explore and discuss, I've always been fascinated by sea life and seeing primitive predecessors to the life we have today is nothing short of amazing. Sometimes I wish I could build a real time machine and go back to the world wide rainforests and gorgeous untouched vistas

[@kaybee1567]

Night three of listening and I still have no memory of anything beyond the first 10 minutes. Thank you French Whisperer! 😴

[@TheaSvendsen]

Hahaha, this also always happens to me! But I don’t mind it at all because that means I can watch these videos again and again and they’ll still feel new to me :D Only thing I have to do is to forward a bit if I’ve heard the first part a bit too much.

[@sadaqah117]

Same....

[@maddiek963]

Recently I’ve found myself being desensitized to my favorite (and most reliable) ASMR videos. This video has been my gateway to your channel. I love the content of this vid (I used to watch ocean documentaries to sleep in my pre-ASMR days) and it is equally effective with or without headphones. I’ve been watching this video for four nights now. Thank you!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks and welcome!

[@EugeneOneguine]

I feel ASMR is also a state of mind. I often thought that I was desensitized as well, yet, once in a while I go back to my usual videos and I get the ASMR effect. I can go back to the same video the next day, and it won't do anything. It just depends on my mood, if I'm truly opened to relaxation or not.

[@kurtkloo7664]

Yes I also watch the same video multiple nights in a row sometimes I fall right asleep but the chapters make it really easy for me to find where I left off from last night

[@johnmortimer1785]

Always looking forward to seeing your video!

[@TerroristSquadx1]

Oh i look forward to it.!!!

[@teejmorrison]

Your work allows me to find solace in the pain that has been my existence over the past few years. Thank you for all that you do.

[@The6thDEADsPOOL710]

Let’s wake up homie

[@BelleMichele99]

hope you’re doing well

[@victoriadiesattheend.8478]

The Devonian period (a system of the Paleozoic era) fascinated me as a child. All of my major dinosaur and prehistoric animal interests were mostly relegated to marine life (and plants). This is already my new favorite video from you, and it hasn't even dropped yet.

[@ABCDuwachui]

Ain’t it sum!?!

[@gerrardjones28]

Mine apart from the dinosaurs of course was always the carboniferous don't know why lol but yeah the sea is very interesting aswell

[@philiphoel4290]

I finally get to hear one when it's brand new! I'm glad that most of those critters are defunct.

[@bunbeater42]

Soooo freaking excited for bed tonight!!! @thefrenchwhispererASMR, I’d like to recommend a video over philosophy perhaps. I would love to hear your video over the history and perhaps the most known or profound theories of famous philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Descartes, and so on. It would be fantastic to reflect over the meaning of life and existential infinity of the universe. I’ve listened to you every night for roughly 95% of the year. Thank you for your work and providing your content for free KZbin. I hope you have a great thanksgiving!

[@royeaston6067]

I just wanna say, a while ago the vids were a little quiet. now there's plenty of room to adjust the volume and I really appreciate that, thank you so much.

[@auridisavan1886]

This reminds me of Abzu, which is one of the most beautiful pieces of media I've ever consumed. It's fascinatingly beautiful

This will be the video of all time for me, I can already tell

One of the best channels on KZbin. Thank you to our favorite French man. 💛💖

[@scottphardin]

These videos have gotten me back to sleep countless times. I think it helps that the information is presented well - I just listen and drift off. Very grateful for your work, sir.

[@BelleMichele99]

thank you sir for your hard work!!! i’m a nursing student and it can be hard to fall asleep, this stuff gives my brain juuust enough info to ignore all the crazy thoughts racing, while also being relaxing enough i’m able to fall asleep! it’s hard to get out of that “must be studying” mode 24/7 so this tricks my brain into thinking i still am! lol. your work is so so SO appreciated and has led me to more prayer, meditation, and more self care practices that are part of my nightly routine! merci!!! 🤍 can’t wait to listen!

[@Boing2699]

My mom’s a nursing professor and even she has mentioned many times how hard nursing school is. How it was stressful for her back in the day and stressful for her students now. But it’s all so worth it when you get through everything! Nurses are always the people who make going to the hospital, getting surgery, etc. so much more bearable. I’ve had lots of health issues the past few years and it’s amazing to see all the work my mom and other professors put in, and to see nursing students come out as such compassionate, lovely people. You’re going to kick nursing school’s ass and I bet you’re going to be an amazing nurse!! I know this comment is out of nowhere, but my health has been causing some extra issues lately and nurses (except for a few bad ones I’ve had lmao) always take such good care of me, take such good care of my grandpa who has lots of health issues, etc. It just fills me with lots of hope for humanity to see how many people want to dedicate their lives to helping and taking care of others.

[@TheaSvendsen]

@@Boing2699 Great comment and also really wholesome

[@jaclyn3046]

Ahhhh I’ve been waiting for this! Stories like these about the incredible evolution and transformation of our planet and progressing of life forms is literally one of my favorite things. Particularly, the Cambrian explosion. Thank you!!! So excited for this!!!

[@dominicmcg2368]

Amazing video, one of your best yet in terms of range and depth of information and storytelling skill to convey all of it so clearly in relatively little time! In between your uploads I’ve been listening to one of your stories from 8 years ago every night (I’ve exhausted all of your more recent ones) and it’s astonishing how consistent your level of quality has been for nearly a decade, even your first video is insanely high quality (anybody who hasn’t scrolled right down to the bottom of the videos tab is missing out on some amazing stories, I listened to Joan of Arc the night before this one). I’m glad I’m able to support you in what small way I can on Patreon as you’ve been part of my nightly ritual for nearly 3 years now.

[@sadgoyl]

✨🧚🏻 thank you thank you. you have no idea how helpful these videos are. i’d love to see even more science / evolution type videos from you in the future. the time and effort that you put into these videos is greatly appreciated.

[@toastbread3003]

Some of the best quality content on KZbin. THANK YOU

[@plewarysiu]

Wow. Wizyta w prehistorycznej Polsce. Wreszcie się dowiem jak kiedyś tu było za starych dobrych czasów.

[@krazypickles6157]

:0 :0 :0 YAY you’re doing more prehistory topics! Ancient life is one of my favorite subjects. There’s so much to cover. Too bad I won’t be awake for the whole thing, but that’s why time stamps are there.

absolutely amazed how you always pick the most interesting topics!! 💜

Sore this pop up in my notifications and knew I was going to have a good night, it's funny cos iv actually been watching alot of stuff about prehistoric life and the ocean, nothing better than a tingly bedtime story about one of your main interests to send you to sleep, very much appreciate all the hard work you've done, thanks for making!

[@lau70]

This is so interesting!!! Thank you so much for making these videos. I can't express how awesome it is that you simply make knowledge like this freely available. I'm not religious, but you are a blessing.

[@jeancat9454]

If only more science and history were taught this way! I'm a vet tech student who can never sleep, but you have helped. Thank you for your work and amazing way of sharing it!

[@JAMUSMCGAMUS]

woohoo ocean life history

[@HeatherDevona]

Enjoyed listening to this one thanks. In my area, Devon, the Devonian period was named after so lots of amazing geology here plus just along the coast in Dorset we have the famous fossil area of Lyme Regis where lots of the crestures were first discovered :-)

I’m loving loving loving these paleontology related topics! I was going to try to suggest/request such topics but before I figured out how, it seems you’d read my mind, because you released the night at the museum and then this!! So pleased, thank you!! Of course I enjoy the other topics too. So while I’d love more paleontology and hard science centered videos, I’ll be happy with whatever I get 😁
