So this weekend I just learned about ASMR I made a little research, and I was surprised that something like this exist I don’t think this fit to met, but I was surprised that ASMR can help some people from chronic pain community, so what ASMR? according to NIH, ASMR is Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a previously unstudied sensory phenomenon, in which individuals experience a tingling, static-like sensation across the scalp, back of the neck and at times further areas in response to specific triggering audio and visual stimuli. This sensation is widely reported to be accompanied by feelings of relaxation and well-being. The current study identifies several common triggers used to achieve ASMR, including whispering, personal attention, crisp sounds and slow movements. Data obtained also illustrates temporary improvements in symptoms of depression and chronic pain in those who engage in ASMR. A high prevalence of synaesthesia (5.9%) within the sample suggests a possible link between ASMR and synaesthesia, similar to that of misophonia. Links between number of effective triggers and heightened flow state suggest that flow may be necessary to achieve sensations associated with ASMR. source https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4380153/

I LOVE ASMR! I’ve had trouble sleeping since having kids– I guess my body just doesn’t want to fall soundly asleep in the event I am needed. After using white noise for years, I found ASMR. I’ve been listening to it to fall asleep now for a couple of years– there’s a YouTuber named ASMR Darling and her stuff knocks me right out, every time.
