To answer the question, “what is sleep ASMR“, we’ve got to first understand what ASMR is. It stands for “autonomous sensory meridian response”. That’s fancy talk for the tingly feeling you get when you hear specific sounds that give you a visceral reaction. What sort of visceral reaction? Tingles, shivers and – you guessed it – the ability to fall asleep. It’s been an area that’s gained interest particular from the year 2020, as people got stuck in lockdown and, struggling to get assistance for decreasing mental health, turned online. People who understand the sorts of triggers (sounds that give the visceral reaction), make sleep ASMR videos and share them freely online to build an audience. I cover a lot of these producers in this blog. 🙂 Here are some good examples of the producers who are quite popular.
