ASMR Relaxation

[Numbah-1]

I feel way more open about asking this here...

How many people actually know what ASMR is? Its a weird thing to ask but maybe its more common than I think IDK...

For those that do know, do you think it works enough to help individuals who suffer from things like insomnia? I dont even get tiggles but 98% of the time I feel like I need to listen BINAURAL ASMR vids to even feel cosy enough to get some rest lol I kinda wanna recommend it to people who CONSTANTLY bitch about their lack of sleep looooolll... I just dont want to seem strange in the process.

I know what it is.
As for the insomnia, I don't suffer from it myself, so don't take my word for it, but I think it could. It takes me a long time to fall asleep (but it always happens, hence not insomnia), and ASMR does helps me to relax and sleep faster, sometimes better even.
And yeah, binaural is always the best option.

My fiancé loves watching ASMR vids on YouTube, and I learned what it is through her. She likes watching someone who goes by the name Heather Feather - and ironic name to people in our area of expertise, but I think she's only used feathers in a few videos. 🙂

Jenna doesn't suffer from insomnia, so I can't speak on that subject, but as Marcelo mentioned, it does relax her thoroughly enough to help her get to sleep quicker when she needs to. For her though, it's more for stress-relief and comfort.

I personally don't think it'd be too awkward to bring up. You could recommend that they listen to Isochronic Tones if their insomnia is anxiety related.

Another one that helped me, is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKsEqFgKhoA

I suffer from insomnia quite often, if it's not anxiety or depression, it's pain or just outright being restless... so a lot of times I have to listen to something like this to get a good sleep.

ASMR videos only affect some of us, those tingles in your head/neck from the effect I think it's said only like 20-40% have them? But anyway, just casually recommending a few of these suggestions to be helpful shouldn't be too weird. If it is to them then, well... let them be grouchy while you're sound asleep~ 😛

My hubby likes to as well~ same deal, though I'd known about it I didn't know about the actual name until he watched some video about it.

I freaking love HeatherFeather! Didnt think ASMR was popular though. Thanks for the reassurance!
