"Midnight Snap" is an ongoing series of long, soothing let's plays designed to help you sleep through hours of chill commentary with no sudden spikes in volume and no mid-roll ads. My job is to create an environment where you can safely drift off, calm a racing mind, or even just fill an otherwise quiet night with a friendly voice. If that sounds appealing to you, settle in however you like and enjoy!

WE MAKING IT OUT TO DREAMTOWN
WE SO EEPY RN ❤
I really like that this isn't a 'forced' relaxing video! Like there's still jokes and swearing so it's like having a friend play a game beside you
I agree, ASMR is a good example of the forced "relaxation" where this is way more relaxing if you get the idea.
This reminds me of when this was only game I was allowed to play late at bedtime, since it was calming
Same! It's also one of the few games I could play before bed that wouldn't insert its play-style or visual angles into my near-sleep-thoughts and dreams.
Penny screaming and cackling will always be iconic but I also love this idea since she has such a calming voice
I’m autistic and have really bad anxiety. It takes a while for me to go to bed and sometimes I don’t sleep great cause of it and on top of that I have pretty bad meltdowns. This series will definitely be apart of my calm down/unwinding routine for sleep and my sensory overloads :D
Same, although I don’t have too bad meltdowns. I also find this helps with some of my symptoms of depression :)
im autistic but i struggle with sleep for different reasons, and honestly i hope penny keeps making these videos because they're already so meaningful
Omg same! :D
Me too!
Me too! And I’m heading to university in a few days so the major transition is gonna upset my sleeping sm. i hope penny keeps up with this series :)
Beginner Animal Crossing tips to make your daily check-ins easy to manage (from someone whose been watching this video for three and half hours 😭):
1.) Four fossils and one pitfall appear everyday in your town
2.) Only one of your rocks will have money and one fake rock will spawn that holds a gem
3.) If you don't have a wardrobe in your house, the locker in the train station can be used to store items instead. Don't worry, all furniture has shared storage so you can reach your items from home when you get the chance.
4.) Just have fun with the game! Talk to your villagers and pick up seashells any time you feel like your chores are becoming too much. Don't forget to bring Isabelle a shell! :)
(This comment isn't meant to ruin the chill vibes Penny has going for this series. It's just meant to be some helpful tips to make the beginning of the game easier to handle because I know switching from New Horizons to New Leaf is a lot.)
As a new player, this is pretty helpful!!
Z
Reminds me of hiding under my blanket with my DS, playing this game while I was supposed to be asleep. Looking forward to putting this on tonight 🧡
That was totally me, except with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. I'd play until the entire screen misted up and I could barely breathe coz I was too young and dumb to understand I was limiting my oxygen by going under my quilt covers like that lmao
@bigbadgammagnome love seeing people that grew up with the gameboy/ds say that they would always play their system in bed when they were supposed to be asleep, I did it quite a bit with mario 64 and mario kart ds
I think one of these episodes once you get a decent museum going you should totally just spend a bunch of time hanging out in there and reading the descriptions. The vibes and music in there are perfect for sleep aid.
I’ve been playing New Horizons for a bit now and one of my favorite things to do is go into the aquarium and just vibe
this actually inspired me to dig up my old animal crossing new leaf cartridge and restart my town, and one of my first townies was also actually Peggy the pig!!
Can we just talk about how amazing she does the voices like omg and i can't believe i missed this
IDK if Penny will see this but I think doing some sort of Chao Garden series for Midnight Snap would be really cool! :D
the lucky ticket prize being pikmin 😭😭😭 penny i am so touched by this series, its motivation, the effect it has, everything. thank you, deeply truly sincerely
There are still museum descriptions in the game if you feel like reading them at some point! What you have to do to read them is to check the signs inside the museum itself
This is absolutely perfect. I can't think of a better, more relaxing game to fall asleep to. This is really going to help. Thank you so much.
Back when New Leaf came out, I had huge troubles with falling asleep. I used to open the game during nights just to aimlessly wander around the town and listen to the nightly music... it was immensely calming. I don't have the game anymore, so I'm really happy about this series! I'm like 20 mins in but it's already bringing back the same calmness I felt back then. Thank you Penny, looking forward to your adventures in Espresso!
I know this is meant as a sleep aid, but I draw most of the day and these videos with the comfy vibes are perfect because I can have the videos next to my drawing program and not get distracted by them like I usually do. They keep me company when I’m drawing away, so thank you!
Also for voice acting, do whatever you like! Obviously your acting is always nice to listen to, but it doesn’t bother me if you’d prefer to to go without it. I don’t think it’s distracting personally :)
I’m gonna cry plz keep making these,,I work early shifts and get up at 4 am and I struggle to sleep most of the time. These have helped me fall asleep so much lately…you’ve helped fix my sleeping schedule and it’s making my stress so much more tolerable you’re a blessing Penny
YIPPEE definitely wanna use this one tonight, you have a super calming voice, it reminds of how my mom would read to me as a kid when i couldnt sleep (so basically every night lmao)
Ikr!
IM GONNA GET SUCH GOOD SLEEP!!
One big thing I miss in new leaf were all the quirky furniture series, which is just absent in Horizons. It seriously is a bummer
4:05:00
You can store stuff in a locker at the train station that connects to the storage you unlock and storage containers in your home. Also letters you write can be used as storage.
I love legally distinct Keith plushie… he is a friend
Thank you for this. It couldn't have been dropped at a better time. I just came off a horrible work shift. My body was exhausted but my mind was fuming. This calmed everything down and I fell asleep so fast
Considering that Penny's middle name is Olivia, I really hope that her last name starts with a G.
Also Animal Crossing is so cozy, looking forward to listening to this tonight ❤
1. Great relaxing video and very excited for the future of Midnight Snap
2. As a part of the Homestuck fandom I feel the strong urge to tell you that those were not Dave's glasses (Dave's are round) and actually belong to his brother Bro/Dirk.
WOAH this is longer than I expected, which is awesome :) Definitely using this to sleep later. Thank you for also releasing an audio-only version as well! I like saving audio on my MP3 player to sleep to-- especially audio dramas, but some TH-cam audio as well-- so that is very helpful.
The pikmin pilot episode helped so so much with my worsening sleep issues, can’t wait for this to work even better from the more familiar game!! Please keep doing these, I’d be so sad if you stopped!!
Edit: I say this but obviously if you literally unable to, no pressure at all! Whatever fits you best. Just saying I love these lol.
Amiibo can be used in Citra very easily by looking up amiibo bin archives. Animal Crossing is the largest in the series so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
I didn't expect to latch onto this format as much as I have, I have got a bla ket and a fan and I am at peak cozy levels right now thank you penny!!
this is perfect because i literally fall asleep to videos like every night (including very loud commentary and noises/sounds LMAOO) the fact that she has specifically designed series for people to sleep to is so cool i’ve never seen this done before!! i’m so hyped! i love the nostalgia it feels so comfy
Btw: it deffo doesnt strike me as odd to listen to your own content. I listen back to my vods sometimes while doing chores and stuff, if not in part to try and figure out what things i need to improve on the audio front, but I also know that I don’t need to be a captive audience because I’m literally listening to my own experiences. It tricks my brain into knowing that I don’t need to be paying attention.
hey penny thank you for this I broke my spine and stay in bed most of the time I love listening to your voice and just chilling 🥺
AHHHH! You got Aurora!! She’s adorable! I also have her on my new leaf town and my boyfriend has her on new horizons. She’s an adorable cinnamon roll!
this was so nice to fall asleep to olivia & so needed right now, we appreciate this series 💜
Words can’t describe how much I love Penny’s voice I’m gonna have a good sleep tonight I’m sure! ❤️😭
This is my favorite animal crossing out of all of them. Also I’m so glad people still play this one. 😁😄
My coworker showed me this while we were working. I’ve been watching your content for a long time but haven’t actually been keeping up as often.
So it’s been absolutely lovely watching this series. As someone with terrible insomnia these videos have been great!! Definitely something I’ll tune into before bed 😊
I usually put on streamer vods in the background when I sleep, but sometimes the loudness will keep me up, so I really appreciate the midnight snap videos so far! The length of this video is great. ACNH is a super comfy game too that I've been playing recently so it's fitting. Looking forward to more!
As someone who has really bad sleep problems, this sleep aid was genuinely so helpful. Not only did I have one of the deepest naps, but also the most cozy, fluffy, and dramaless dreams of my life. Thank you Penny❤
i fell asleep successfully but woke up to penny talking about storage and just wanted to tell her you can go to the train station locker
"Why am I calling it a conversation?" because even without twitch chat you hear a thousand voices sleepily saying *somthing* into a pillow you simply cant hear it bc this is a sleepy binches area
The terror of waking up from a nightmare and realizing it was triggered from the audio cue of making custom dresses in the clothing shop. Accompanied by my dad knocking on my door to inform me my cat brought a dead bird into my room while I was asleep.
Insomnia you haunt me
my chronically ill ass will sometimes get these episodes of just.. partial consciousness where I gotta lay down and wait for it to pass. its not fun and can sometimes last a few hours, so I usually try to find something long and calm to put on so I have some kind of distraction and like... this was so immensely helpful to getting through it. im keeping it on standby for future use
Tmi but ive been struggling to find joy in life. I go to bed and my thoughts spin around into a merciless cacophony of dread or self-loathing due to my current situation. Sometimes it keeps me up, sometimes it doesnt. These videos are the perfect white noise for when I can't beat it alone. I'm not going to give up bc I have cats to feed, but sometimes i need something to make my mind quiet. I hope this series never ends.
I can relate to joy becoming a rarity. I’m glad you can put some demons to rest, just don’t give up on yourself.👏
just saying, the little jokes in between don't bother me at all. I'm the type of person to fall asleep even if i hear people joking and laughing in the room next to me. i think it really adds to the atmosphere and is, in my opinion, very fitting for the relaxing vibe, especially because your laugh is somehow very calming😊 the jokes in between are also great when I'm just watching it for fun and not to fall asleep, because then it's relaxing AND funny which is amazing. although it's different from your other content, i really really love this format and I'm really excited for more!!!!
Can’t wait to listen to this again as I fall asleep, only to wake up in a cold sweat at the mention of amiibo festival
I'm not sure if this was ever actually addressed throughout the video (we love falling asleep), but I think this would benefit from the game audio being lowered slightly because your voice gets a little muddled with how loud the audio is currently
starting off strong with the sleepy energy w the dance of the moonlight jellies; this is genuineellyy the exact playthroughs i remember trying to find like 5 years ago so this is so fulfilling and ALSO cozy cozy :) these have been great to just calm down to before bed
About 5 minutes in and I'm already finding this super relaxing! Animal Crossing was a really good pick for a game, need for time-manipulation aside.
Loved the Pikmin pilot, and this series is super effective as a sleep aid / relaxing background audio! Thank you for creating this! :>
many american forests contain something like 1.5 million cicadas total. they're hard to estimate but there's likely many trillions of them in the world. thank you penny.
i LOOOVE tom nooks littele voice.. he sounds so polite like a little businessman..
Using this series to prevent me from sleeping because I'm EVIL
JUST in time for me going to sleep tonight (timezone differences be damned, i thought i was gonna wake up tomorrow before this uploaded lol)
Thank you Penny!! I love new leaf so ngl I've been v excited for this, and Midnight Snap in general. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos/projects it's so appreciated
had a completely racing mind and couldn't go to sleep at all and it was super frustrating. Just woke up now 4 hours later and sleepy enough to pass out again. This was such good help
ive really been needing this, thank you so much for making vibes for the sleepless of us :3
God, I just realized just how much of a special interest this game is for me, cuz literally I was able to name all of the villagers without even needing a guide or anything. I'm very normal about animal crossing.
This might just be me, but every night I restart the VOD to listen to Penny’s intro about no stress with watching this. It really puts me in a good headspace to start resting. Might just be me lol
When I was at my life's lowest point in 2018-2019, I would fall asleep with the Puyo Puyo Tetris playlist on repeat. It was the only thing that would chase away the nightmares. Now you're telling me there's a series meant to be slept to?? Exemplary. I almost can't wait for my next life changing trauma
im not someone who listens to stuff to fall asleep, but i do like having something in the background while drawing, playing games or writing, so i appreciate this as some calming background noise while i go through my day! thank you, penny!
Thank you drawing of penny drinking a warm beverage on the right side of the screen for reminding me about my tea that had been steeping for like half an hour
Grabbed it and warmed it up again and it was the perfect temperature
I was really anxious when this dropped, and its also pretty late, so im really excited to calm down and try to sleep. Thank you so much for midnight snap, its already been a massive help ❤
Penny: *realizes how likable she is
**NEW SERIES POTENTIAL**
just wanted to say that this video plus the second part have really helped me get to sleep during my first two weeks at a new job. i always have trouble falling asleep earlier at night but your videos made it so much easier. thank you for putting your time and effort into these, idk what i would’ve done if i hadn’t found them when i did. genuinely, thank you.
selfishly hoping and praying she continues playing this for midnight snap instead of just doing two episodes grhrggg i love this game 🙏
while i haven't been putting these on to go to sleep, i've been finding these are perfect to put on in the mornings, before i'm ready for any loud sounds :)
Been sleeping to this for almost a week, I just keep rewinding to something I don't remember ❤
NO WAY YOU GOT THE ROSE SHIRT DAY TWO WHAT
that's one of my favorite items of clothing if you couldn't tell by my enthusiasm
Dance of the Midnight Jellies came on my playlist while I was stressing over an assignment and I said out loud 'penny help me', this series has reassociated the song for me :D
I’m actually loving how relaxing this is. Penny also says really fun and sweet things. It’s great :)
animal crossing is one of the most impactful game series to me, from wild world to new horizons i had all games and they've always been such a huge comfort source for me. This is an insane trip down memory lane, and your voice is so soothing it relaxes me even more
hi penny. just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate this series. my aunt was diagnosed with stage four cancer two weeks ago and just had a stroke last night. she’s been declared braindead with no hope for recovery. this series has been the only way i have been able to sleep for the past few days. thank you so much for everything you do.
i watch these and then i fall asleep and finish the video and then i go back the next night and skip to around where i think i fell asleep and keep watching and fall asleep again. its a surprisingly good system though
This reminds me of all those hours of playing new leaf as a child, having no idea of what to do and staying up to ungodly hours to add on to the hundreds of hours I had in this game. This makes me feel so good.
as an emulation obsessor, its actually quite simple to go online on Citra. it has it's own multiplayer room system and everything. i'd love to help out for the nice sleep aid!
Between this and the pilot, this series is already helping me relax when I'm anxious, so thanks for that.💜
Dunno if you found this out or not but from my experience playing New Leaf for a year and a half by now, the snow in winter regenerates deteriorated grass, it's nice :D
i did not know that!!!!
I've been a TH-cam frog for about 5 years now. Just a couple of days ago, the pilot episode appeared in my feed. Intrigued and sleepy, I popped it on and thoroughly enjoyed it, but never managed to fall asleep until after it was over. The next morning (which was yesterday as I'm writing this), I had an idea: So, I'm currently writing a book but it's taking too long per chapter. Perhaps having it as calming background noise might work better for me than sleeping?
This episode just helped me through writing an entire 16-page chapter of my book. I think that means I give this series an A+! I'd love to see more of this from you, it's very helpful as background noise. Please do more of this!
oh this is just what i need right now! So excited for this series.
the fact that you picked new leaf means I can close my eyes and visualize whats going on because I played it sooooo much
I was feeling super anxious, then saw this was released and watching it really helped to ground me. Thank you so much for this series, loving it so far :)
thank you for making another one of these, I loved the pilot! I hope midnight snap ends up doing well and becomes a regular series, I absolutely adore the chill vibes.
I'm super sick and couldn't sleep last night, so I turned this on. It was so nice to listen to and, true to the nature of the show, actually ended up helping me sleep!
Thank you Penny
I think the white bird with the orange face (Cranston) is a secretary bird, which are really cool. They live on African grassy plains. I played as one in a dnd campaign, they are like eagles with stilts for legs and kick venomous snakes to death. The legs are long and bony to protect the ankles and keep the bodies away from snakebites.
*dnd has a bird people player race. My character was a secretary bird monk because of the kicking the bird does.
This is already one of my favourite series on TH-cam. Love it.
So excited for these videos, the concept is great and right up my alley! Your voice is so sweet and soothing, thank you so much for this series 🥰❤
I was zoned out with this on in the background, until 1:45:56. Penny name-dropping my favorite villager immediately had me zone back in, like I was starlord in that one gotg 2 scene.
i think Cranston might be a stork and that's wwhy he has all those cribs... he's got a job delivering babies
I don't really use these as sleep aids, but they are definitely great for relaxing and winding down after work. I like to do my daily virtual pet site things with them on before going to bed :) Definitely gets me more ready to lay down then listening to my music, getting hyped, and losing track of time lol
Thank you, this really helped me. I struggle with an overactive mind at night. And last night was particularly hard. Invasive thoughts really torment me, I have a huge fear of death, and last night I was sent into spiraling panic attacks because of invasive thoughts about death. But after I played this video my brain was finally quiet enough to get some rest. Thank you, this content is helping people like me.
This is perfect! I've been very excited for this since you first teased it in the community post and I'm *very* happy with it so far :)))
This was genuinely so relaxing to tune into and fall asleep to. Your voice is very soothing to listen to and combining it with this particular game is such a brilliant idea for this kind of video format. Looking forward to more of these in the future!
So excited for this!
you’ve created the best playlist for everyone on youtube , bless up
Coming back to make a whole third comment to respond to the Polka Dots question:
Graphic designer here! Making patterns typically uses a tiling system which can be either a regular grid, a staggered grid, or a perpendicular staggered grid. Regular grids are just tiles put in rows; staggered grids are tiles in rows with every other row being offset, and perpendicular staggered grids are tiles in essentially a diagonal line so that it is offset every row both vertically and horizontally.
For simple patterns like Polka dots, the latter form of grid is usually used. From what I understand, this is usually because the more simple the pattern material, the more complex the shifting of the tiles needs to be in order to make it feel more natural!
Because of this though, polka dots oftentimes look like they’re in a sort of ‘Diamond’ formation or are going in diagonal lines from left to right. This formation usually causes optical illusions as well!
This is what we’ve been waiting for!
Thank you for doing these they're genuinely so lovely ❤ you have such a lovely way about you
I’m absolutely loving this series. When finals were going, I used your dragon quest series for background noise. But there is something so innately calming and nostalgic about Animal Crossing and the music in New Leaf is great. The special cherry on top is that you’re the one playing! This helps so much when I’m doing homework. I thought your voice was perfect and I would love a continuation of this series!
I love new leaf it’s so calming and perfect for this series!
aurora was one of my first villagers i had in new horizons and i’ve always loved her. i think its fun how your play through has her!
