Any of you listen and watch ASMR videos to lessen anxiety and fall asleep faster?
- If yes, what do you normally play on youtube? What sounds help you the most?
- If no, then would you ever consider using it as a tool?
If you are new to the concept, here is a description from Wikipedia:
Quote:
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) signifies the subjective experience of 'low-grade euphoria' characterized by 'a combination of positive feelings, relaxation, and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin'.
It typically begins 'on the scalp' before moving 'down the spine' to the base of the neck, sometimes spreading 'to the back, arms and legs as intensity increases', most commonly triggered by specific acoustic and visual stimuli including the content of some digital videos, and less commonly by intentional attentional control.[1][2]

I am regular on ASMR channels and at this moment, I am listening to one. For some reason, I like tapping, rubbing, wood/metal ear picking, blowing, brushing, and some whispers but only if the language is foreign (I prefer Korean the most). Each video eases my severe anxiety MIs and that, in turn, helps me take fewer pills. So tell me what you think and if you are a fan; feel free to discuss the topic.
Oh, and ASMR is
not a sexual thing. I have no idea why some people keep thinking that. There a few requests made by a small minority I heard, but it is not a common practice as a whole.
So take what you hear with a grain of salt.
