What is ASMR?

ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, a pleasant tingling sensation that begins on the scalp and spreads down to the neck and upper spine.

There are several ASMR triggers:

Auditory
Physical
Visual
Situational

Below are some ASMR benefits:

Relaxation
Enhanced mood
Reduced anxiety
Lowered heart rate
Improved sleep

It is important to note that everyone reacts differently to ASMR. Some people response to ASMR quickly. Some need time before the right trigger gets to them. Some never get that spine-tingling feeling at all.

Some people have misophonia, a condition in which one or more common sounds (breathing, chewing, tapping) trigger an unwanted or unpleasant emotional response. Anyone sensitive to such sounds may choose to avoid auditory ASMR.
