One time, I was helping the brother of one of my good friends. He was studying to be an optometrist and needed candidates to help him do some eye tests. I remember sitting in the dark room, being told to rest my chin on a plastic frame, then to look through a viewer. Gentle lights would flash. The instruction was to ignore them sometimes, then to look at them at other times. It was actually really relaxing and was making me drift off. “Stay awake!” He’d say, holding back a chuckle. I didn’t know it then, but that must’ve been my first encounter with a visual sleep ASMR trigger.

Have you had a similar experience? If not, try out these below vids and let me know if they make you feel sleep or not.
