"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!

Absolutely losing it at Jay asking you for a greeting, and your in-game character staring at him silently for almost 12 hours before saying "zoo wee mama"
I think it becomes even funnier if you consider the possibility that from an in-universe perspective, Jay just willingly stood there, waiting patiently for 12 whole hours of his own free will
A token of my appreciation for 3 amazing sleep aids in a row. This is just what I needed to unwind after a busy day. Thank you so much.
thank you, this is so sweet of you!
I know many people have already said this, and I hope this doesn't seem redundant, but we appreciate what you do and all the hard work that goes into it. Here's to you and your dedication. Please have a good day.
wanted to send you something for helping me sleep! i’ve used so many of your other videos to help me sleep, and these are just so amazing. you’re doing great, penny!
thank you for the timing of the episode! i had a bone marrow biopsy yesterday (not cancer related! autoimmune disease related!) and it was hella hard, and i had to go under sedation for it which always mess with my mental health so i've been super depressed/weepy and exhausted since then. i had an anxiety attack a bit ago over nothing and opened the computer to see the new upload which gave me such a big sense of relief. thank you thank you thank you!
Going through any kind of medical procedure is rough. Sending all the positive vibes your way. Get well soon
,.
Everytime Penny does the "Ruby! Sapphire!" I can't help but giggle and kick my feet
Same. I wanna rewatch Steven Universe now lol.
Penny, this series has gotten me to NAP. I do NOT nap. what is this sorcery
penny. this did, what i thought, was the impossible.
i was having a HORRIBLE night trying to sleep, bc i was having that "body/brain says you NEED to get up and move and do something" mode, while being SO MISERABLY TIRED, that i had something to eat and then settled down where i was watching earlier in the day, and. i actually ended up falling asleep.
im the kind of person that cannot sleep with the tv on, or talking outside of my room, or the lawnmower, for the LIFE of me. the only time i could was like, when i was a kid listening to music in bed on my hello kitty mp3 player (good times.) but this saved me from the most miserable trying-to-sleep ive had for a while??? and i just want you to thank you so so so much. genuinely, this was perfect.
also! this has calmed me down from being adhd-overwhelmed and frustrated. and i want to thank you so much for that too. just the perfect vibes ever.
I'm still a relatively new fan but I have to say that I found SnapCube through a "You laugh you lose" on the channel Shenpai. I was immediately hooked, I never met or watched someone with such an infectious personality that I couldn't but start watching SnapCube 2 including this serious which seriously does help with my Insomnia. With all that said, I don't expect this to get acknowledged but still love and peace to Penny, hoping for everything to go your way, and anyone who took a minute to read. Good vibes to all!
I've been having a lot of financial struggles recently, and I've stressed over it all to the point of insomnia. Usually I have to wait until 9am or so to manage to knock myself out, but midnight snap has been a huge comfort/aid for me right now. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to these days, Penny. You're the best
as someone who lays in bed for at least an hour at a time on their phone before going to sleep, this show is a huge help! now this cuts back on the scrolling significantly :)
I’m currently preparing to start partial treatment for my ED and Depression, and I’ve been having panic in the middle of the night, typically hard for me to sleep unless my boyfriend is there. This series absolutely helps clear my head so I can actually sleep decent, thank you thank you Penny
sending you all the love and support
I’m in ED recovery as well! Hope treatment’s going good for you❤️ I’ve been putting this series on while I eat actually, the cozy vibes make the whole process feel a lot less daunting.
Thank you, I really needed this tonight to be able to wake up tomorrow :)
I've always used UA-cam videos and streams as sleep aids, but I'd always have to turn them down to be SUPER quiet just so that sudden loud sounds and the like weren't enough to be jarring.
So these videos being from one of my favorite content creators designed specifically to help me sleep???? Yes heccin please!
Thanks, Penny!

this series made me go back to my old new leaf save 🥺very gender affirming to sign out of my masculine mayor character and create a new save with sparkly eyes and pink hair LMAOOO ♥thank you penny for this series, i love it soo much already 😭
edit: holy shit. i was playing earlier today before i watched the video and the pink pacifier was in my label shop, i bought it thinking "baby mode" LOOOL
HOLY SHIT !!! i also just realized, we had some of the same socks in the shop ?? and i also just got henry !!!! that is crazy this series is so comfy 🥺
I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for this, it's so hard to find this kind of vibed content. I'm a comic book artist and i've been spending a ton of late nights working. this sort of content is the stuff i need up late at night filling the quiet so i can stay focused.
Penny: "I'll not suffer babies in MY chat!"
Also Penny: "...how many bells for the pacifier?"
This is my new favorite series on youtube!! I dont usually sleep with any sound at all so i use this to calm my brain down before going to bed. Thank you so so much for providing us with both incredibly funny and insanely calming content on this platform 💕
my name is miranda so watching 2:50:57 onward was like a psychic attack lmao. wonderful series though, it's such a delight to have on in the background
PSYCHIC... ATTACK! FUCK YOU! - The Devil
omg thank god im not the only one who felt like that
Jesus Christ that new greeting for Henry nearly made me scream at 1am and wake my whole family you’re too powerful Penny that about killed me💀💀💀
watching this to keep me company after work, while i do kandi bracelets, and doing my first dosage of T. much love to you. you remind me of Bee n Puppycat. midnight snap is very lovely, and i thank you for getting me back into some of the older AC games! i totally forgot they could be emulated xP
Ayo congrats on the testosterone! This random trans girl on the internet is proud of you!!
i struggle with sleep and anxiety at night a lot and these videos help so much, thank you!!!
i love midnight snap, so damn much. i listen/watch it/keep it on nearly Every night. it's so useful and needed for my unmedicated insomniac ass.
i esp rewatch these new leaf videos. esp this episode also - the second one.
they are so cozy and feel homey. and they have a good mix of like, when i need to turn my brain off it let's me do that. but it also, when i need to keep my brain more active aswell on something, they are also so good for that too.
and it's really such a good energy and vibe mix from these.
if i had a youtube wrapped, i Would be in a top top small percent of viewers of yours - cause Many hours each night!!
(and i also love your other vids for day/awake times, both main channel and second channel stuffs, you're one of my fave creators aswell! you are so fucking funny and lovely and creative :D and i love your surrealism humour and tastes you do like to flavour things with.
the fucking spongebob and timmy Turner game vids my gosh.
oh oh and w newer stuff, i esp loved the sonic unleashed vids and vods haha, it was so wonderful. yalls sonic and chip rps is just delightful haha)
everytime you release a new midnight snap video I feel so happy.
and when you first ever released any, I felt such an immense joy and appreciation and like.. relief.
cause like i also am aware that these take a lot of time and effort and love to make. you put a lot of care into these videos.
(and i also really was missing something like this existing. and you're doing it so specifically and esp nicely)
and it's like, very clear with how you talk about midnight snap as being such a passion project, and from when you talked about your struggles with recording them and editing them (all very understandable struggles).
and so, i am thankful for all midnight snaps you've made, all of them treasures
I started playing New Horizons again because of this series and Bertha literally just moved onto my island today 😭 she’s the one exception to my farm animal theme just because she’s so adorable and sweet~
This series also made me pick up New Horizons again! Happy to see I’m not alone! :)
I used the first midnight snap as a sound fill, but using this one to actually help me sleep. Recently had my work shceduke changed to opening at 7am, and having a night where it's hard to sleep after a large art project, and this is already helping a soft amount. :) thank you sm Penny for these.
you probably get comments like this all the time on these videos but i take heart-rate slowing medication to help me sleep because my brain runs off the walls otherwise and last night it wasn't working so i suddenly woke up three hours after heading to bed and felt like my hands were itchy and full of worms and i couldn't keep them still. putting on this video is what finally helped me get to sleep. thank you for doing these, you're an angel
The audio sounds PERFECT in this one to me!!
Also, I’m just absolutely adoring seeing you bounce around between tasks in New Leaf! It was the first animal crossing game I ever played and one that was really important to me because it was given to me by a friend. It’s so nostalgic and heartwarming seeing you go through and rediscover all the cute little details!!
The Frita jumpscare had me hollering, oh my god
I just woke up and this REALLY helped. I had a small nap before that and that normal means I'm up all night but this made me fall asleep at a reasonable time! (rare.)
I like the sea shanty/working song style from the gamecube era, but i really love the wistful and bittersweet vibes of kapp'ns new leaf song. It's like he started singing just as a way to pass the time while out at sea, but after doing it so long he's become more comfortable making original melodies and using song as an emotional outlet or for personal reflection.
Leon: Hey Ashley, lets watch Penny (Snapcube 2).
Ashley: Sure thing
The last one has been a huge help for falling asleep lately, so I’m excited to know there’s more for when I finish the first
Btw regarding the Happy Home Designer segment, I think it's a really nice addition! I've started watching these not just to fall asleep but also to get going in the mornings, so having something "exclusive" to look forward to sounds nice. :)
I needed this. It's been a rough time lately, and I need to clear my mind while I get ready for bed. Penny, I'm happy people like you exist.
the unbridled joy I felt when I opened youtube and saw this was posted!! Just had the previous episode on loop last night to help me sleep and it worked wonders! Also got me into animal crossing again, whoops.
This sleep aid series is like the best thing I could ask for. 70% of what I fall asleep to is just snapcube streams. I have no problem falling asleep to laughs or sound board noises, but I rlly appreciate a long series specifically for winding down or sleeping!
your voice is so soothing, and i love that you do the character voices whenever you read villager dialogue :) reminds me of when my mom would read me bedtime stories as a kid and she would always do the voices!! i always wake up well rested whenever i fall asleep to midnight snaps :) keep up the excellent work!!! 🫶🫶
Pennyyy I've been using only midnight snap to sleep since you posted the pilot and now here is a new one just as I'm about to sleep! It really helps my Adhd to have a soothing voice to keep my brain busy enough to relax,, and i get really anxious sleeping,, you've honestly been such a life saver, I haven't slept so well in forever ☆♡ thank you so much, Penny!
Penny!!! You have rapidly become my favorite creator on the platform, and I’m so happy you’re able to put shows like this out on youtube!! Thank you for the lovely nights of sleep I have gotten on this series so far!!
i feel like i must be the only person at this point who has never reset their island in new horizons, everyine ive seen or talked to has wanted to start over, but I could never possibly throw away the hundreds of hours i put into my island, and it's not even that detailed 😅
I haven’t reset my NH file either, and I don’t plan to! However I’ve gotten the itch to play again recently (thanks to this series) so I’m playing new leaf myself
I've had a very stressful month and this was one of the most stressful days so far so I really needed this. I can finally relax with this and look forward to my vacation in a week. Thank you so much as always, Penny!
Same here. Had a rough day at work and Penny and Animal Crossing helped me relax at home ♡
YOOOOOOOOO LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
every time i watch the midnight snap animal crossing parts, i load up new horizons and play while im listening. it feels like penny and i are playing together :3
gonna leave a quick comment to hopefully increase the youtube stuff for this series so we can justify getting more >:3
I just wanna say, I greatly enjoy these sleep aid videos. I found them when I was really struggling to sleep bc of surgery and all the physical restrictions that followed. Your videos were just what I needed (sound and visual stimulation!) and have been officially added to my sleeping playlist, among videos I’ve been playing every night for almost a decade now! Thank you :)
I don't think Ive ever slept better. Literally how do you make this so soothing?
More new leaf midnight snap! pleasee ill do any :,{ , its amazing and really helps me day and night
ps please get pietro ! hes the best
Im going through a difficult moment in my life right now and you have no idea how much this series has helped me with being able to get a good nights sleep. thank you for everything you do
I'm an hour into this for background noise but I hope Penny figures out that donating stuff one item at a time gives you Blathers' opinion on it!
Oh yay!! Oh I'm so happy!!! I was so hoping we'd get to hear Blathers talk more :D Yippee!!
I have recently developed tinnitus in my right ear and this really helps mask the sound when I’m trying to sleep at night ❤
I LOVE your town flag design Penny!!! It's so cute 🥰
thanks olivia for making nighttime more doable we apppreciate!!
It’s been a rough few weeks, this helps so much!
Hope this doesn't get buried but, if you come back to this series, would you ever consider a segment where you explore fan-submitted towns? Could be fun to get town and home inspo, see tons of new villagers, and get more types of fruit for your town. Plus, im pretty sure homes you visit get added to the showcase in town, where you can buy almost anything in them 👀
Hope there's more of new leaf. This is easily one of the best ac games out there. Especially for the sound track.
SO EXITED!!! ive been watching midnight snap as background videos and i love how relaxing they are🎶 thanks penny 💗
Amazing timing! Just as I was struggling to sleep. Thank you Penny for all your hard work
Hey, thanks a bunch for this series. I'm easily stressed out with a lot of the things that happen in my life, and it gets really difficult for me to really process what's going on and what I need to do a lot of the time. That said, Midnight Snap has done wonders for helping me better deal with these problems, being able to help me get some much needed sleep as well as being fantastic ambience while I type up papers and projects that I need to get done. Seriously, I can't thank you enough these are just wonderful!
I think some episodes of the Midnight Snap with a cohost could give off a “parents or friends talking in the room next to you” vibe which is more of a calm vibe for someone like me. The one-on-one commentary triggers something in my brain that keeps me alert so I can listen to every word. If that’s not the style you’re aiming for that’s fair I’m just throwing stuff out there.
Fell asleep to this last night! This series inspired me to restart Animal Crossing NH, so I could not wait to watch this episode! I slept great, and now I have a chill video to grind out some essays to. Love the series and can't wait to see where it goes in the future!
So excited for this, I like to put these on as I fall asleep and start from the last bits I remember the next day, and i was just approaching the end of the last episode
Just found this series and I'm so excited to have something like this in the background as I draw! Thanks Penny!
new to snapcube! having a calm, cozy LP like midnight snap has been so nice for background while i'm writing and working. i've never watched the fandub series on the main channel, but ep 1 of AC new leaf got my attention right away! thanks for making this!
hihi this probably wont be read but sometimes at night i have high anxiety and i either cant sleep or keep waking up. this sleep aid helps calm me because i actually feel like someone is sitting next to me playing animal crossing and helping me calm down.
so yeah i really enjoy this series. thank you.
My heart feels like it’s committing but these help a lot to get my mind off the sicky bleugh feels. You help more then you could know. Thank you :)
Thank you for posting it. This helps since I have Autism and depression. This also really helps me stay calm in an enviorment where I get deadnamed (Since I'm an trans enby person)❤❤
Thank you so much for everything you do and make ❤
I often have your videos of many types playing when I draw, when music is either to engaging or not engaging enough.. but some videos are also very high energy 😂
This is the perfect inbetween that lets me focus but still have something to listen to and comforts me!
Thank you Penny 😊❤
JUST finished listening to the last midnight snap episode while i was doing some gathering on ffxiv, and was hoping that the new ep would be posted by now so id have some more Chill Vibes to listen to. what perfect timing! thank u penny :)
Noticed this upload at just the right time. I’m having a lot of trouble with my ocd routines right now, it’s lasted like 8 hours now… so exhausting. I’ve actually been listening for the past two hours-ish, it doesn’t speed up the routine but its a nice distraction from intrusive thoughts. :)
omg its just a coincidence but i feel so special that i happened to be watching this episode right as it crossed into midnight for my own birthday :)
I didnt think midnight snap was for me but I just moved into an apartment in a complex that's out in the woods and as a city slicker i found i could NOT sleep soundly because it was so quiet and so dark so I started having midnight snap on as background noise and it lets me sleep so peacefully! thank you for this project and I hope it continues!
I have genuinely started watching these for the past 3 nights and it has actually made it possible to fall asleep watching videos in the background. Thank you so much for this series my sleep schedule is now sane 🙏
couldn't sleep tonight and decided to stay up for a while. this came out at the perfect time, big up for sleepytime penny
entering a trance-like state instead of having a headache 100/10 thank you ms panini
I follow your twitter and have seen the issues you've had getting Midnight Snap episodes done, and just wanted to say that effort is really appreciated!! I hope you're not working yourself too hard tho! Thanks for another great episode, I've just woke up to it which means I have the perfect crochet aid (I've almost finished making a lil guy w amigurumi), and I'll have the perfect sleep aid tonight.
I was listening to the first Animal Crossing aid last night and noticed that I fell asleep even faster than usual, they're super helpful.
Thanks again! If you need a break then that's fine, if not that's cool too, either way this has been a massive help 💜
Perfect timing, I'm off to bed right now ❤️
I just wanted to say that i absolutely adore this series your voice is so soothing it's so nice to fall asleep to
This episode worked remarkably well for me yesterday, both for a nap and for actually falling asleep (way faster than I normally can fall asleep too)
And it was a very fun and chill watch to clean my room to in the morning
Round two baby let's go, cant wait to fall asleep tonight (normally i hate going to bed because my brain cant settle, now im excited!! Thats so weird, but I love it!! Thank you!!)
I forgot to refill my sleep medication prescription and these videos are keeping me wonderful company while I lie awake. Thank you so much for making bad nights much easier💖💖
It's funny this is a sleep series and I'm just watching it as a chill let's play
Ive started using this as a tool both as a sleeping tool and to train my patience so i dont ten second skip constantly
Penny! I love your midnight snap series so much and it's helped me a lot so I wanna say thank you!
Yo, just wanted to say. For some reason, just the opening for midnight snap(After seeing the first pilot ep) makes me oddly emotional??? Like I genuinely can’t through the opening without almost tearing up, and I honestly not 100% sure why. Like, I’ve been dealing with shit on and off for a while, so it’s probably just cause it makes such a comforting space for me to relax. BUT ITS STILL WEIRD, AS MUCH AS I ENJOY THE SHOW, WHY I GETTIN TEARY EYED???? (
everyone gay… NOW!
(I have taken to shitposting in the comments to add some Classic Penny Energy (Penergy™️) down here, y’all are too nice and genuine and pleasant and good) (also “ewe” is pronounced “you”, so Frita saying “Oh, ewe!” Is her going “Oh, you!”)
Hi Penny. Just letting you know that "Ewe" is pronounced "You" so Frida is just saying "Oh you 😊" in a cute sheepy way. I don't know if ewe is pronounced any other ways in different places but i have only ever heard in promounced "You".
I've watched both AC eps awake and while sleeping for a few days now, and I really want to applaud you for making such great videos! I struggle to sleep without noise and had recently been using your Dragon Quest playlist to sleep to - which has been great, it's such a comfort game for me, but a certain marge simpson voice clip loud enough to compete with a hydrogen bomb makes it a little dicey to fall asleep to (that being said I am counting down the days for when you return to it, I really hope you pick it back up again after you're done with TotK!) - but having a specific series that's made for this purpose with chill gameplay and no loud noises is fantastic. They're really fun as background noise for when I'm drawing, and I've had great sleep recently largely thanks to your videos :]
If you don't mind, I'm gonna list some observations and suggestions - but keep in mind this is just my opinion, I'm sure other people have their own thoughts!
- I'd personally prefer the videos to be a bit longer if possible. I tend to sleep 8-10 hours, and I often stir in the night, so 5-6 hour videos means that I have been waking up to uncomfortable silence and have to put something else on in a sleepy haze. QuintonReviews's ridiculously long videos are so good for this purpose. I think this will become less of a problem in your case with a more robust playlist (like with DQ) but it's just a small note. I also appreciate that you have to put a lot of time into these to get to the length they are now and maybe this is too big an ask.
- I think AC is a perfect game for this, because there's just enough routine vs variation, and also no detailed plot that might be too tempting to stay awake for (for me, I tend to combat this by pre-watching things so that it's less interesting the second, third, etc watch). It's the ideal game to jump in and out of in that regard, and required no pre-watching on my part. If you want to go for different games, might be worth keeping this in mind! Cosy life sims are probably a good choice overall.
- Even when there's been slightly noisier moments (the birthday party, construction, etc) the sound hasn't bothered me at all during sleep, so I think you've got a good balance for the audio.
- I know it had a hiccup, but I'm really excited to see the happy home designer content added to this!
- Overall just want you to know you're doing an amazing job, so try not to be too down on yourself
I don’t know if anyone told you but Frita’s catchphrase “oh ewe” is because an ewe is a female sheep. Ewe is also pronounced like ‘you’, so the joke is that it sounds like “oh you”.
But b*tch is fantastic.
Penny: there's no sanrio stuff for new leaf right?
Me knowing that the sanrio amiibo started in the new leaf days (which is valid if you don't know) but also idk how amiibos work on emulator: uh well.
Hey! So i know you don't remember a ton of the game so i thought i'd express a bit of knowledge/an idea for you for later in the series now that you unlocked the island it's important to know that it's by the far the most reliable may to make money in the game, i usually go after 8pm and catch the beetles on the palm trees and regular trees as well as the sharks, it's also got very good and calm music so i think having some bug catching sessions could be realky good for sleep aid as well as for money lol (also sorry if this comes off as backseaty, play how you like i just thought i'd put it out there lol)
Kind of a shame this series is (probably) not coming back. This was a very relaxing 11 hours of animal crossing.
I hope you don't feel too pressured to put out a large quantity of episodes. Using these to fall asleep means that i might only actually hear half an hour or so of a given episode in one night, meaning i get multiple night's worth of sleep out of a single video.
even now, there's a few hours of this video I haven't really heard despite having used it basically every night since upload. (though, i did re-listen to familiar segments for some of those.) food for thought, since at some point you mentioned dealing with some stress when it comes to putting these out. i know not everyone uses these the way i do, but i don't think im the only one.
pENNYYYYY!!!° medical tw: anemia is kicking my ass right now, so perfect upload timing
frita’s original catchphrase would actually be pronounced closer to “oh you,” so dont worry, she was never insulting you!
I honestly remembered this series existed during a recent time when I had what really wasnt a nightmare, but it still made me too scared to go to sleep the following night; aswell as the night after my imagination was making me think things that weren't true. I dont get scared by my dreams or imagination before I fall asleep that often, but the fact I was just able to sleep those two nights because of remembering these videos means alot to me.
Even if im not scared to go back/to sleep often; it helps that when and if i do i can atleast have some noise other then the rain to stop the onslaught of my nerves and imagination.
if you do a japanese duolingo episode it will make me too autistic to sleep. otherwise great idea
+ the joker smile i did when i saw the hhd screen. very rare occurrence for me that can only be prompted by the powers of interior decoration/fashion games
ahhh, this is so nice. excellent to doze to.
my one suggestion though, is could toy describe a little bit ^^;? when you got that plant and just said its name a bunch, i had no idea what it was and it woke me up a little to rewind and check, lol
Re: some concerns about content quality at around the 3 hour mark- I think it might be important to keep in mind that a lot of the audience is probably unconscious by the time the first recording session ends
Posted 8-9 minutes ago? Well, talk about timing~
Just gonna enjoy some nice soothing SleepCube to relax before bed before workday. =w=
My cat just passed away, and your midnight snap series has been helping me sleep through the night. Thank you.
ah you uploaded this as soon as i was about to settle in for the night!
