What the hell is ASMR and why you need some!

So, ASMR, which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is this tingling sensation people report feeling when exposed to certain sounds or visual stimuli. It's like this wave of calm and relaxation that washes over you, and some folks even say it helps them sleep better or relieves stress. But what's the science behind it? Well, you've got all these ASMRtists out there creating these videos, and they use all sorts of triggers like tapping, whispering, crinkling, you name it. And when you watch or listen to these triggers, it can allegedly activate certain brain regions associated with pleasure and relaxation. It's almost like a brain massage, man. Now, the benefits, if any, are still being studied, but there's anecdotal evidence from ASMR enthusiasts who swear by it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/support Subscribe today and join a community that’s growing stronger every week.
