What is ASMR?
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs.
​
Most ASMR episodes begin by an external or internal trigger, and are so divided for classification. Type A episodes are elicited by the experiencer using no external stimuli, and are typically achieved by specific thought patterns unique to the individual. Type B episodes are triggered involuntarily by an external trigger, via one or more senses, and may also involve specific thought patterns associated with the triggering event. Both types of triggers vary between individuals, but many are common to a large portion of ASMR enjoyers.
​Why did you start making videos?ik to edit me.
I first noticed my ASMR when I was younger; playing 'hairdressers' with friends used to make me feel sleepy. Later I realised that other people experienced this 'tingling' when I was watching massage and whisper videos.
​
Therefore I decided to try it out myself. If I could help even a few people with insomnia or stress problems then it was worth it!
After only a short time I started to gain more support in the online community and even made a few friends along the way.
