ASMR is a set of sounds that are produced in different ways and are meant to calm us down, relax us, often used before bedtime for those with insomnia.

Has it never happened to be at the barber shop and just the sounds of the machine, the scissors, the squirting of water make you more relaxed?

People who experienced ASMR had lower heart rates when watching ASMR videos, and the reduction was equivalent to other relaxing techniques, according to the first peer-reviewed study published in 2015 and another in 2018. Discussions in the public forums of the ASMR community have claimed that triggering ASMR might be able to aid with symptoms like chronic pain or stress. Others are optimistic that ASMR will someday have therapeutic value, perhaps as a way to treat sleeplessness, sadness, or anxiety symptoms.

Of course, not all sounds are effective for everyone. Everyone has that one sound that makes them super relaxed! I am a long time fan, when I can I put on my headphones and search for that video with those sounds that help me relax before bed!
