Trigger Test for ASMR Newbies

Since you've just discovered ASMR, I decided to put together this special video just for you. I experiment with a variety of methods and objects, some old and some new, to determine which ones work best for you. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll all work!

For those of you who aren't newbies or don't experience ASMR, maybe there's still something new in here for you, or at the very least it'll help you to relax and sleep.

What is ASMR?

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.

ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
