I think a big reason why people listen to sleep ASMR is because it allows them to drop their guard and succumb to the ability of the YouTuber to take them somewhere else. It’s classic Escapism and is the reason why so many people read fantasy books, watch movies, etc.

While there aren’t a lot of roleplay videos specifically, anyone who puts in an effort to adopt a persona – like a doctor and a patient in the video above – is roleplaying. It’s a bit of fun, it takes the focus out of the mundane day to day and lets you be someone else, if just for 30 minutes.

Here’s a few more good roleplay vids. Enjoy!
