Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Part 1) | Midnight Snap - A Sleep Aid Series

"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!

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

WE GETTING A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP TO THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥😴😴😴🛏️🛏️🛏️🌕🌕☁️✨✨✨💫

[kaydreamsart]

This reminds me of when this was only game I was allowed to play late at bedtime, since it was calming

[Freshlydeliveredegg]

Penny screaming and cackling will always be iconic but I also love this idea since she has such a calming voice

[Taikofan]

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

[dandycandyhearts]

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 🧡

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.

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.)

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!!

[cnnamodoll]

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

[demaresmall]

Can we just talk about how amazing she does the voices like omg and i can't believe i missed this

[ChilliePlays]

IDK if Penny will see this but I think doing some sort of Chao Garden series for Midnight Snap would be really cool! :D

[DanGamingFan]

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.

[peachaton]

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 :)

[hydrangea]

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!

[Technilogica]

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)

[cryily]

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

[Fimbulvetr]

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.

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.

[heroiccarp]

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
