Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a calming sensation often described as a tingling feeling that typically starts on the scalp and moves down the spine. It is triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, such as soft whispers, tapping sounds, or gentle movements. Many people seek out ASMR videos on platforms like YouTube to help them relax, reduce anxiety, or improve sleep. The experience can vary widely among individuals, and while some find it pleasurable, others may not experience the same sensations. It's considered a unique way of achieving relaxation through sensory stimuli.
