ASMR
Perhaps you've already heard of ASMR since it seems to have become the big Youtube 'thing' over the past year, or maybe you've no idea what ASMR is and you've stumbled onto today's post anyway. Well hi either way :)
Today I wanted to chat with you guys about ASMR and how it affects me, and how I use it to take better control over my sleeping pattern, helping me to relax and to get myself out of stressful moods. So bear with me while I try to explain something that is probably going to sound really weird.
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, and although very hard to describe to those who do not experience it; it can be 'summed up' as a euphoric feeling of relaxation and pleasure, with a tingling sensation usually in the scalp/neck/back area. Okay, with me so far? People experience ASMR in a number of ways, and not everyone gets it from the same thing. So for some people listening to quiet, repetitive sounds works, or watching someone perform a mundane but attentive task can trigger it.
