I fell asleep to ASMR videos for a week. And here’s my thoughts

January 15, 2020

GOOOODDDD MORNING. I literally pictured myself saying that as the Morning Toast duo. Also my favorite morning show. But seriously. good morning. except not. because i hate mornings. I hate them so much I’ve literally been crawling into bed at 9pm to try and make sure I’m not as annoyed when I wake up. I keep my phone in the other room, turn on my ASMR and have it be pitch black.

What is ASMR?

Honestly it sounded sexual to me when I first heard it. But ASMR, according to Google, is “Autonomous sensory meridian response, sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine” -Wikipedia.

Why do it?

I stared doing it because my mind wanders like crazy at night & I’d be watching vine compilations until 2am. Which I totally recommend, only on the weekends though. But I ended up putting my phone literally across the apartment from me and used my ipad on youtube and sooth myself to sleep.

Who do I watch?

I watch this girl on youtube and it’s life changing. I watch things like hair brushing, scalp tingles & any type of “brain melting” video. I literally feel so so weird typing this out and lowkey feel the judgement but it’s so good, lol.

Final Thoughts.

This is a resounding YES from me. The combo of leaving my phone in another room & using the videos I find myself super relaxed. I either flip my ipad over or put the light on the lowest setting. It’s great. 10/10 recommend.
