ASMR
The current ASMR Foundation definition of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response includes soothing, satisfying and comforting emotional and/or physical responses to audio and/or visual triggers. Anecdotal and scientific studies indicate most people are ASMR responsive with many users reporting sleep, physical and emotional relief. Ptacek compares the ASMR feeling to “the way you would feel listening to the rain pitter patter down as you’re comfortable beneath your covers” and “as though there’s this strong hand giving me a massage pushing up and down my spine in a way that’s almost too much but is actually perfect.” The ASMR Foundation is focused on the neurological draw of ASMR and how it may manage anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, and more.Career
