Pikmin 3 | Midnight Snap - A Sleep Aid Series (PILOT)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2023
- "MIDNIGHT SNAP" is a sleep aid series hosted by yours truly, Penny Parker, featuring long-form, calmly commentated playthroughs and other pre-recorded content that is designed to help you sleep or even just fill the dead of night with pleasant company!
This is the PILOT EPISODE, meaning it's meant to just be a little taste of the intended format in a shorter, slightly less polished form for the sake of getting feedback as to whether y'all would be interested in more content like this! So if you find this idea appealing, please let me know in the comments below and I'd love to make this a full series!

Hi Penny! I'm an over the road truck driver, and ironically enough, I think this series will be just what I need to keep me *awake* but not distracted while I drive, thank you!
Same here, this is going to be great for long drives.
Let's hope it isn't too effective at inducing sleep then lol
promise me you arent looking at the screen at all while you drive 😅
@@shinycursola5079 Oh I watch every second, I can't get enough!
@@zombistaydead2679It would be dangerous not to! What if you missed something?
The best part of this is listening to Penny trying to hold in her natural exuberance whenever something makes her excited!
I'm recovering from top surgery right now and this couldn't be more perfect. I've gotten to a point where i can be somewhat independent, but my energy is extremely low and, well, my mom gets a little too worked up about sports. this is perfect for tuning out to relax and focus on healing
Congrats on getting closer to the right gender!
Congratulations!
Congrats! I would have loved this series when i was recovering from surgery this year, hope you're doing well
Congrats on the surgery
i relate to this so hard, when i had my top surgery i was living at home and my mom is one of those crazy sports parents too lol
I work as a barista at an airport and volunteer solely for early shifts (2am) cause it lets me stick around more during the day for my disabled partner and the unsociable hours pays for the work she can't do. I usually try sleep to TH-cam but my silly brain will just keep myself awake with it if it's too "grabby" but this is perfect. Thanks so much Penny.
The way you read the dialogue felt like a calm soothing voice reading a bedtime story and I ADORE IT😭Brings me back to simpler times
Agreed! Bedtime story like games are gonna be so damn cozy to listen toooo!
Totally agree, it was so so nice!!
Watching Penny fall in love with pikmin is something I never knew I needed
We've come a long way from Chase explaining weird pikmin enemies to Penny
Hey, Penny! I suffer from insomnia and PTSD, so I find it very hard to fall asleep due to feeling unsafe. This video helped SO so much, it’s unreal. The steady volume and lack of “surprises” really helped me feel more secure and ready to doze off. It was like having a friend there with me to let me know things were ok. The nature sounds were also super nice and calming! Please keep it up! ^^

Hiya Penny! I put this on for my husband to help him fall asleep as I was working on a comic, and it seemed to help him fall asleep! (Which is GREAT because the July heat has been making sleep really hard on him lately!) I was idly listening as I continued working on the comic and I found myself really enjoying how chill it was and finding it to be perfect background audio to listen to as I work on projects. Can't wait for more!!
aww that's so sweet I love that the video helps both of you! hope your husband had a lovely rest
THANK YOU idk what else to say to this other than thank you. This is FREE and thank you for making it and giving it to us. To be honest, I can kind of sleep through any stream and it helps a ton but since my partner can’t, I can really only get that good good stream sleep when I’m taking a nap or maybe he’s out of town. This being something that we can have on at night and not disturb us AAAAND its my favorite creator is seriously such a gift
thank you for making this! the midnight snap art is sooooo cute! I usually fall asleep to the jerma seaman stream but it gives me nightmares so this is exactly what I needed
I'm sorry about your poor sleep but the sentence "I usually fall asleep to the jerma seaman stream but it gives me nightmares" is so funny
the seaman stream consistently giving people nightmares is one of the funniest phenomena surrounding jerma
Congratulations on finding yourself
@@medi- you'd think it's just a community joke...until it happens to you
I can't even fathom trying to fall asleep to a Jerma stream
hi i'm one of the heretics who didn't use this for sleeping and instead i listened to it while i did some art. i really do think it's helped my productivity though, and i would be super down for more of this, especially during artfight!
same!! listening to this while drawing attacks for art fight.
I hope she keeps this series going. I love Pikmin 3.
I agree. I have a hard time finding sleep aid that fits my criteria. She hits all the marks for me, and i'm not just saying that because i love Penny's work.
I work as a mail lady and this was a real treat to listen to while out on my delivery route. Would love to see more of these in the future, and I hope you enjoy your time with the Pikmin series!
As someone who loves snapcube, loves pikmin and loves falling asleep in front of youtube videos, this feels like it was made for me 🌻🌼
While I won't be using these for sleep aid-purposes, it absolutely did help (and will help in future, I'm sure) when my social battery was completely empty yesterday. I am often either in a discord call with a handful of friends or a complete shut-in, so this video was wonderful as it gave me the same good vibes as hanging out in a call without the anxiety of having to socialize. I hope this series does at least as well for you as it already has for me!
this got me just into that mood where you feel comfy enough to just calmly go to sleep without letting my brain run a mile, love this and I can't wait to see what else you may play
I may not have insomnia, but Your streams have already been a great way for me to wind down at night since I am someone with egregiously bad ADHD. It’s going to be really nice to be able listen to you just being chill without having to worry about chat gaslighting and/or driving you crazy
Your voice acting was so good I mistook it as an added option in the deluxe version XD
it's been very nice to help relaxing before bed :)
You've gotten plenty of "yes"'s to continuing Midnight Snap, so here's a YES to continuing Pikmin! I've had to watch this video about 5 times now because it kept being too effective-- I really wanted to watch the funky Pikmin gameplay, but I kept falling asleep mid-video. This game is so soft and easy to follow while also still being engaging. Would love more videos that I need to watch a dozen times because the cozy vibes just keep obliterating my consciousness.
As someone who usually gets home from work well past midnight and has to wake up at 8:30, this helping me actually get to sleep quickly since release has been tremendously helpful. The steady, calm volume is exceptional. Thanks a ton!
I love this idea! And even though I'm always wide awake while playng Pikmin, it's an entirely different story just listening to it. Thank you, I hope this series takes off.
Penny the fact this pilot came out when it did is mind boggling. I started binge watching your vids again yesterday, pikmin fixation is back AND I came home from work exhausted last night. This was taylor made for me and I appreciate it. This really helped me get to sleep, so I do hope you continue B)
Already 6 minutes in and I am so relaxed I'm yawning and calm, despite being in a real stressful situation. Thank you very, very much, Penny, you're doing amazing
i know there’s already been a couple more episodes, but on the off-chance you’re still checking this one, this is such a nice and helpful thing to have…. it’s been a really rough few days and these have helped a lot with calming down enough to fall asleep.. thank you for doing these ^^
As someone with both anxiety and insomnia, I love the idea behind this series. I was really feeling anxious earlier today and the vibes here are so cozy and comforting that I feel better already. I feel like this is going to be a really great series.
Pikmin is a game series near and dear to my heart so this is an _especially_ cozy choice to curl up with - I don’t have trouble sleeping myself, but I _do_ work night shifts that require me to stay up through the night beforehand to reset the old body clock, so this series will be a really fun 4am treat for myself!
Hi Penny! I'm an artist, and I like to have something in the background while I draw. Usually I put on vods or streams in the background, but I often find myself distracted by them. This is perfect, because I can listen to this and not get (too) distracted!
I find myself searching for non-music noise in the background when I work or when I'm trying to fall asleep. This was a great balance of enough content to keep my brain occupied without triggering the "oh no I missed something because I wasn't paying attention" anxiety that this kind of content sometimes gives me.
I TOTALLY want this to be a series. I've needed something like this for a while because I often struggle with OCD during sleep and need a good focus thing for drawing. Hope to see more :D
Hey Penny,
I’ve been super stressed and feeling down lately, but just the genuine warmth and care in your tone and in your words as you describe your mission statement for this series has already made me feel **much** more comfortable and relaxed and ready to drift off to sleep.
I can already tell this series is going to help me so much
Thank you. You’re a star
as someone who regularly falls asleep to hit streamer "jerma nine eight five" screaming and shouting, somthing calmer and softer is very very welcome, thanku pebby
Hey Penny! As someone who also suffers from insomnia and also likes to turn on a long series to help me sleep, a lot of the time being VODs, this series is definetley being added to my rotation of sleep aid content. With my anxiety getting worse and worse nowadays this is genuinely a big help! Thank you, and please consider continuing this series.
OMG I WAS LITERALLY JUST ABOUT TO GO TO SLEEP AND WAS LOOKING FOR STUFF TO LISTEN TO TY SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS I HOPE THERE'S MORE OF THE SERIES TO COME ITS LITERALLY PERFECT
I work in a hot factory but this has me so comfortable that I could fall asleep, the vibes are immaculate
Please continue Midnight Snap!
please don't use sleep aids while working at the Hot Factory
So one of the things I already love about this series is the leveled out volume, not even because it’s a sleep aid stream, but just because no one ever balances their audio so when it spikes in volume it tends to hurt my headphone-wearin ears lmao
Please keep doing this! I have periodic bouts of terrible anxiety-induced insomnia, and this series made it possible for me to actually get a full night's sleep on one of my worst nights. For me, these videos have been exactly what they're meant to be, a calm and cozy space where I can turn off my brain and finally relax for a while.
As someone who's seen my personal ADHD as both a blessing and a curse, I seriously think that this may be the best execution for a sleep aid I've sort of seen yet! Ever since the fandubs I've been a huge fan of yours, and despite your invigorating personality, you've also done a great job making something I don't feel like I need to keep checking in on, but I still get to enjoy just as much as a normal video/vod!
I've been trying really *really* hard to start learning how to get other stuff I want to do done but constantly feel distracted by the need to play or watch other things, so if we could eventually see more of these made, I would
Penny, I’d love for you to continue this! This is certainly right up my alley
love love love midnight snap! i found it through your acnl ones and im so glad you are doing these. i found podcasts helpful but not long enough and i think these are PERFECT! thank you Penny 💓
also omg I didn't realize you were doing the voice of Charlie until you slipped up with pnf 404!
As someone who struggles with being alone, my sleep issues bothering me or not, I appreciate this SO much. I suffer from a lot of anxiety, so sometimes normal longplays or video essays make me feel more anxious than I'd like to admit. I'm not too far in, but im already feeling a lot more calmed down than I've felt in at least a week. I really really hope that you continue this series, I know it would both help calm my anxiousness around being alone and help me sleep, whenever that decides to come for me. 💙
It's midnight UK time so going to try this straightaway, but just want to thank you as this is something I desperately need as a fellow ADHDer who needs noise to stop overthinking at night. I've used a few of your streams before, but def would be better to have a designated series for it!
penny your explanation in the beginning is how i feel when it comes to sleep aid content. i myself also suffer from insomnia and it's a big stressor for me. finding out you came out with this pilot as i literally have been tossing and turning in bed for the past 5 hours truly is like a sign from a guardian angel or something, lol
thank you for this and thank you in general for putting out the content that you do! i hope you had as much fun and ease putting this together as i (and im sure many other subscribers here) am listening/watching this 💕
if yall are relistening to this, the actual gameplay starts at 7:43
I have personally been using your streams to fall asleep to because the sound of your voice treats the ear like honey to a sore throat. This is absolutely what I needed and I’m glad I’m not alone in this. I usually can manage to fall asleep to any streams from you or others but I do wake up sometimes or struggle from it being too stimulating but this is absolutely amazing. Your voice does trigger an autonomous sensory meridian response in my brain causing calming feelings and the whole atmosphere of this is absolutely going to help me many’s sleepless nights.
omg it 12am for me perfect time for this, i no longer have to have 4hr assassins creed video essays to eep
12am gang rise up!! 🙌
Edit: actually, since this is a sleep aid, it should be the opposite of rise up 😅🥱
My sleep aid recently has been game grumps so this will be a slightly more chill version of that type of let’s play
i've been having issues because i need constant noise while i work in my dorm alone or i start to feel paranoid but also my standard youtube routine is something that takes up too much of my focus when i'm trying to do other tasks, so this is extremely helpful!!
i love how penny can manage to make fun, energizing and relaxing content at the same time. i've been rewatching so many videos lately and i'm so glad that this exists now as well. 🥰
Just clicked on this video and I'm already LOVING IT!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
When you mentioned the experience being like falling asleep in a discord call it really spoke to me. If I sleep in calls my phone won't set off my alarm to get up for work and I sadly enjoy sleeping in a VC the most. This was one of the closest sleep aids I've gotten the same chill and comforting vibe from. Please make more penny!
this is so relaxing, thank u penny. much better than suffering through jerma streams as my usual sleep aid
This is great oh my god. I also struggle nightly with insomnia and this is the perfect thing to listen to. also, I relate to the need for long form content as a sleep aid. It allows the task of "Attempting to sleep" to become a more subconscious process while your mind is focused on the content, until you doze off without realizing. I love this.
Speaking as someone who’s had trouble sleeping lately, this video was just what I needed! I hope you continue pikmin, but if you don’t that’s ok too!
I midnight snap. This and frog detective are so good for me to zone out and eventually fall asleep too
took a midday nap yesterday that was almost certain to mess up my sleep schedule and put me on a bad foot for an early shift today. threw this on to give it a shot and somehow did manage to sneak in at least a few hours before my 5:30 alarm- as i write this, i'm up, showered, and have a little extra time somehow before heading to work. honestly shocked at how much this helped!! THANK YOU!!
i just audibly screamed, ever since I saw the community post about this I've really been looking forward to it! So far it's lived up to the hype :D
I hope you know how nice your voice is to listen to. I already listened to your videos to help me fall asleep to shush the busyness. But I always kind of wanted exactly this. The Game Grumps have multiple compilations of sleep aid videos, so its really nice to have this
I had a horrible night. Despite me taking melatonin, I just couldn’t sleep and by the time it was 4am I gave up and put on some youtube. But that’s when I remembered you released your sleep aid pilot! And whaddya know, I slept like a baby for about an hour which was more than I expected! Tysm!
Hey there, fellow Penny! I'm a big fan of your content and have inadvertently trained myself to watch your content later at night. I don't sleep while listening to stuff, but I do like to watch something while getting ready for bed. I tried this out while I had a sleep study this week that I was super nervous for and it was great. Calmed my nerves, made me smile, made my night a lot easier. Definitely here for midnight snap!
i have horrendous insomnia and usually just resort to white noise to help me sleep, which has gotten some weird looks from anyone who comes in my room. this actually helped me so much, and i was able to get off my phone and lie down earlier because it was so entertaining as well as helpful. thank you so much for this, looking forward to more!! :D
I'm only a few minutes in and I already ADORE the idea and execution. I've had multiple nights where it was hard for me to fall asleep because I had just watched or read something that I found to be scary that I knew would translate into nightmares the night of. Hell, just a few nights ago I woke up in at like 5 AM because of a nightmare and now that I think about it, I think I put on your recent twitch streams to soothe myself back asleep. If you want, please continue this series!!
17:08 “As a streamer I don’t get respect” - I got that reference lol. I’ve enjoyed the sonic SNAPCUBE dubs for literal years and sometimes use them to fall asleep. Seeing this was a joy. Gonna keep listening now….
I listen to some of your VODs for just this reason, so happy to see you're making a series specifically for sleep aid!
This was a lovely listen! I'm definitely the kind of person that needs some backing audio for my day to day (especially when doing my work or more involved hobbies like drawing), and if this continues down the line it'll be a frequent thing I come back to.
As someone who suffers from frequent insomnia, this is exactly the kind of thing I need! It would be really nice to have these to listen to when I'm winding down at night, and I would love for there to be more of the series!
This worked so well, I was out in minutes! As someone who struggles with insomnia and is up ungodly late most nights, this was an absolutely miracle, thank you Miss Parker 🙏
Pikmin is one of my favorite cozy games and im LOVING the vibes.
This is assuredly a better sleep aid than my current one: Jerma Malding At Dark Souls
it’s *goofy*
from *mcdonald’s*
As someone who loves ASMR, this is right up my alley. I love playing things in the background while resting, drawing, gaming, etc, and this seems perfect for me! Thank you so much Penny and I really hope this becomes a full series!
This was honestly just the type of stuff I need to go to sleep at night. I really hope you make this a series!
hi, i just want to say i really want to see this as a series. pikmin has been my comfort game for years ever since i was super young, so this was incredibly relaxing and brought me back to my childhood again. thank you so much for helping me sleep, you're incredibly thoughtful to us insomniacs out there.
lots of love!! :]
I would love to see a Pikmin 3 series, or any Pikmin series, from you, but if you feel like it wouldn’t be a proper fit for midnight snap specifically- that’s perfectly understandable considering what happened
I love this content though! It helped me sleep really well
Only about halfway through right now and I would love to see more of this. Everything you said at the start really reflects issues I have trying to sleep. I very often struggle with finding something to sleep to that isn’t either ambient noise or something way too energetic
Great episode to just have in the background while doing other things! The calm nature of the way you speak in this series just makes it feel like a casual conversation, it’s really nice :)
This is so lovely, I've never been so understood by someone I've never met in person!
"The streamers I like are good and fun, but they get loud sometimes and it snaps me out of sleep or concentration" is what I've had trouble with lately, aside from two streams I've seen all the way through that I know for sure are quiet.
This is perfect for me! Thank you
I absolutely love this, 8 hour versions would be wonderful!
So far this looks like the exact thing that could help me chill out enough to sleep or keep me company if I’m still awake. I really hope you continue this series if you enjoy making them!
Genuinely need content like this and will definitely watch more if you choose to do this more. My partner and I love this style of video and actually use fandubs to pass out to on very low volume. So we absolutely love this!
same, penny's voice is just so comforting
I usually need a video to play while I’m focused on literally anything like cooking or cleaning or even studying. This would be great since it’s lengthy and I just need something to listen to while I do activities that need my focus. Thank you for this content.
I work from night to early morning as a contract cleaner who mostly cleans hospital buildings. When I lay down feeling exhausted and sometimes sore the last thing I want to feel is awake. I enjoy your normal content so having long calming videos to unwind to while still having the same charm is amazing. This video has been really relaxing and the perfect thing to help me sleep, so thank you!
I didn’t think I needed this, I clicked because Penny.
That whole “comfy space” mission statement cut me so fucking deep I’m not going to be sleeping tonight. I’m just gonna be thinking about how much I needed that comfy space and never realized it, let alone admitted it.
This sounds like a wonderful idea. I tend to use a couple of Game Grumps 12 hour compilations to sleep to, so having something dedicated to fall asleep to sounds amazing.
This is a cool idea! I might not need this for sleep but I do like listening to videos while doing chores and this seems like the kinda video I’d watch/listen to while doing so!
Huge fan of this format actually. It's very calming and I'd love to see more of it!
I wasn't really on board at first but the frog detective episode was nice last night and now I'm come around to it. I'm here for it.
I feel like Pikmin gameplay already hypnotizes me, so the laid back commentary just adds to this so much. Thank you for this.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH ITS NOT EEPY TIME YET BUT WATCHING LATERRRRRRRR
EEPY TIME TO
PENNY WAS DELIGHTFUL PLS DO MOREEEEEE
Oh god, that Day 5 massacre physically hurt me. It hurt even worse that she refused to restart.
I love this sleepy time series! I work from home, so some chill energy background noise is just what I need to do my job and not have to worry about missing hype moments. I also use these to sleep to. Idk how many times I've been jolted awake by shouting gamers in other stream vods, just like you described, but these are perfect. Please keep up this great series!
Its one am where im at, so this is amazing. Thank you :]
I'm not done yet but I'm already so calm. I struggle a lot with anxiety, so having a video can be really calming and helpful to calm my night time anxiety. I already love this, what a wonderful idea
@@juiceboxfromthevoid me too, i love ya juicebox
Update! I had a lovely time and it worked really well for me :D
I'd very much like to see the rest of the series! I got into Pikmin with this game back in 2013, and it's been delightful to see you get into it too. The game definitely has a somewhat harsh risk-reward system with the risks possibly slowing the course of progress down, I lost 800+ pikmin on my first playthrough too, but you managed it so well after the bridge and explored at the same time. I had a blast painting miniatures with this in the background, and I hope you'd keep it going!
Penny’s Alph voice sounding like Adam Goldberg is hilarious.
Its hard to strike the balance between holding my attention so i can stop thinking, and being too engaging to go to sleep. This series really hits that sweet spot for me.
Its low pressure, soothing and full of good vibes. Been sleeping to this and frog detective every night and i dont plan on stopping anytime soon
This is really relaxing to listen to. This the the type of content I was for when sleeping
I love this concept so much, it's really sweet and I almost cried a few times because I've never seen content like this.
I have ADHD and insomnia and sometimes other videos are too much for me in wakefulness, thank you for this Penny!
I would love to see more of Midnight Snap, wether I use it as a sleep aid or as background noise while I'm making art or chatting on Discord.
Saying so far, this is making me calm and sleepy already so it works for me! Thank you again Penny for this pilot!
i've never really tried sleep aid stuff since i don't want to disturb the people i live with and don't like sleeping with headphones, but as just a more chill long-form style of content this was great :D
as for the gameplay: i'm not sure if it's explained in game anywhere, but which type of pikmin will be produced from a pellet/carcass is determined by how many of each type are carrying it (the type with the most will have more of that type produced). the pellets changing colour gives a bonus if a pikmin of that colour carries it back (so a yellow pikmin carrying a yellow "1" pellet would produce 2 yellow pikmin)
this pilot has helped me so much! i’ve tried listening to the animal crossing episodes, but i think this pilot has helped me fall asleep in about a 1/2 to hour of listening, which is incredible in fighting off my insomnia! despite me only really listening to this episode this is going to make sleeping at college so much easier! please continue with this series!
I'd definitely love some more sleepy time series!
Thank you so much for making this! I have insomnia and listening to music/yt videos helps but I also have misophonia which can sometimes get triggered by whatever I'm listening to. Having this on while going to sleep was perfect and just what I needed to make the transition smother. Also, I didn't have a nightmare in the first time in months while listening to this, I think imagining the gameplay your talking over took my mind off late night thoughts that would continue into nightmares, so I can't thank you enough for this!! Thank you so much for making this, I look forward to this series continuing :]] /g
(Also also, I feel like the game 'Unpacking' would be a good fit for this series. Just a recommendation, no pressure of course. Ty ty ty so much for this.
i suffer a lot with really persistent intrusive thoughts and anxiety, but this really helped me to sleep without any worries! id love to see more of this from you
I’ve suffered from insomnia, ADHD and PTSD (triple kill!) for a long while, and have used your podcasts to help me fall asleep before. This series is such an excellent idea; it made me feel so safe, and kept my mind feeling occupied enough to not go to anywhere it shouldn’t have. I would LOVE a full series of this, and I feel like it would be super helpful for myself and for others
