I want to listen to Youtube sleep meditations on my "iPhone 16 Plus" without keeping the screen on, but it locks and turns off you tube when I push the side button to turn the screen off. I just switched to apple. Is it even possible to do this?

Are you using the YouTube app?
YouTube allows it when you pay for their subscription. Their revenue comes from ads that are displayed on your screen, so they want your money one way or another.
You can see if this works for you, but realize that it is Google that prevents you from doing that with their app, not Apple.

You need to pay Youtube a monthly subscription to do that.
For as far as I know this is not possible. Maybe you want to listen to those meditations using Spotify or apple music, those can play with the screen locked
