Is It Bad to Fall Asleep to ASMR?

Sleep ASMR has been the gift that keeps on giving over the last few years. People who’s struggled with mental health and sleep problems have an avenue to connect with people who are in the same boat, while watching videos that tickle a very specific part of their brain, unlocking the ability to fall asleep without the use of drugs.

The question has come up whether it’s bad to fall asleep to ASMR. While there hasn’t been a deep dive into the science and medical implications of this, my general feeling is that it isn’t a bad thing. It can be most likened to a therapeutic aid but not “medicine” in of itself. It’s not detrimental to the mind and really, if it helps you get more sleep without a high “cost”, there isn’t much bad about it.

Here’s a few videos to help you whet your whistle, try them out and see what you think.
