The best massage videos for sleep are long, slow and quiet: no-talking ASMR head and scalp sessions such as ASMR SAKURA’s head massage and ZenHeads ASMR’s rain-sound scalp massage top our list. If you prefer a gentle voice, a slow Swedish back walkthrough or a spa-style facial routine also makes a calm bedtime watch.
Every pick is strictly safe for work and hand-curated. Want more ASMR options? See our ASMR massage for sleep guide. And for a darker room as you settle in on your side, our sleep masks for side sleepers guide has a few soft, comfortable picks.
We chose each video from The Quiet Clip library for its pace, its sound and how easy it is to watch with the lights down. Each entry below tells you what happens in the video, who it suits and which creator made it, so you can credit and follow the channels you enjoy. The first four have no talking at all; the last three are tutorials and routines with an unhurried pace.
Which is the best no-talking head massage for bedtime?
ASMR Head Massage for Sleep (No Talking) is our first pick because it was made for exactly this moment. It is a long, unhurried head massage of just over 38 minutes with soft sounds and no speech or chapter breaks, so you can simply listen and let your attention drift. It suits anyone who wants one video to play from start to finish in bed. The creator is a Japanese ASMR artist. Video by ASMR SAKURA on YouTube.
Is there a sleep massage video with rain sounds?
Yes: Real Client Scalp Massage with Combs and Rain Sounds. A real client receives a slow scalp massage with gua sha combs, a sandalwood comb, a silicone scalp massager and an acupressure pen, played first with rain audio and then repeated without it, for about 28 minutes in total. It suits people who like tool and comb sounds, and the rain-free second half is there if you prefer silence. Video by ZenHeads ASMR on YouTube.
What if you like scratching and oil sounds?
ASMR Scalp Massage (No Talking) opens with oil warmed between the hands, then moves into a long, varied head massage full of soft scalp-scratching sounds, growing gentler toward the end. Lava lamps and a glitter lamp keep the screen dark and calm, which makes it easy to watch in a dim room. It suits listeners who enjoy close-up sounds through headphones. Video by ASMRMagic on YouTube.
Which video mixes hair brushing with light-touch massage?
Gentle ASMR Massage and Hair Brushing is a half-hour, no-talking session that moves from hair brushing into light-touch back massage, then through sensory brushes, jade combs, wooden chopsticks and scalp rakes before a scalp massage to finish. The variety keeps it interesting while the pace stays slow. It suits anyone who wants a softer, brushing-led session rather than firm massage. Video by ZenHeads ASMR on YouTube.
Is there a calm spoken massage tutorial for the evening?
Basic Swedish Back Massage Techniques is a gentle, unhurried walkthrough of a classic Swedish back routine, running just under 20 minutes. Presenter Katie Miles covers preparation, oil, effleurage, petrissage and a figure-eight stroke, then closes with aftercare advice. It suits couples who want to learn an evening back massage together, or anyone who finds a soft, steady voice easier to wind down to than silence. Video by Vivid Photo Visual on YouTube.
Which facial massage video works as a wind-down?
Relaxing Facial Massage Tutorial is a calm, unhurried video that walks through a spa-like skincare routine, from cleansing and gentle exfoliation to a slow serum-based facial massage and moisturiser. Much of it covers skincare steps, so it suits people who like to combine their evening routine with a quiet video. Video by Huyana Beauty on YouTube.
What is a short option for a few minutes before bed?
Simple Lymphatic Massage for the Head, Face and Neck is a concise routine of under seven minutes, demonstrated by Dr. Alex Hui, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It moves from the collarbone to soft strokes across the head and face, down the neck and into a shoulder rotation, all with very light pressure. It suits anyone who wants something quick and hands-on rather than a long video to listen to. Video by Dr. Alex Hui on YouTube.

Frequently asked questions
Are no-talking or spoken massage videos better for bedtime?
It is personal preference. No-talking ASMR sessions suit people who find voices distracting, while some viewers settle more easily with a soft, steady voice like the one in the Swedish back massage walkthrough.
How long should a bedtime massage video be?
Longer sessions of 28 to 43 minutes, like the ASMR picks above, let you press play once and stop watching whenever you like. Many people set a sleep timer on their device so playback ends on its own.
Can I copy the techniques from these videos at home?
The tutorials are made to be followed, so yes, using light pressure and checking in with your partner. Stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
