What is ASMR?
ASMR, for the unacquainted, stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, a fancy way of describing ‘spine tingles’ or a nice soothing or relaxing feeling that happens in response to different sounds.
It’s a global phenomenon, with thousands of ASMRtists creating hundreds and thousands ASMR videos watched by tens of millions of people who enjoy the sounds to help them fall asleep, unwind, study or relax.
