I lurked on a blog post last night, by this Ferrose. Unfortunately I think his problem is a quite severe, but for anyone else without a fear of impending doom while they lay in their beds... I present...

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response


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.

I'll explain, through my own experience. It started out with going to the optometrist. I always loved going because I experienced tingling in the back of my head and became very relaxed when doing the part involving the phoropters, similar to this scene in family guy. The quietness of the room and the sound of sliding glass really got me comfortable and to me it was similar to getting a really good massage.

Due to Brood War I had started having very bad sleeping patterns and developed an annoying case of insomnia. Reddit and /sci/ had continued the issue, once I had quit BW years ago. So I started using these videos that created a ASMR for me to use access to the internet to my advantage. They have the same effect as easily-accessible sleeping pills, for me. On top of that, they feel great.

I've already posted my favorites on reddit. For the sake of this blog, I'll cross-post my own and to add some others from that sub-forum that I have enjoyed.

Hey there.

I've accrued quite a few links that help me experience ASMR. Just wanted to share.

Enjoy.


A poster on /asmr/ also posted a site I use religiously, soothe tube. Someone has taken the time to find videos that have a calming effect on the viewer and update daily.

I'm not sure if everyone experiences ASMR, but for those who do I hope you enjoy the videos. I feel that earphones usually increase the effect, especially for the 3D sound videos. If you find a youtube video that you like and want it to replay without having to push the button, simply add repeat after youtube and before .com, EX. http://youtuberepeat.com. Also keep in mind that this feeling might not be related to the tingling feeling you get from a good piece of music.

If you have any videos regarding, post them here... I need to increase my library!

wait some people don't get this feeling?
I was not aware of this...

edit:
Okay I did a bit of research because I seriously did not know everyone felt this.
This is the feeling that starts in your neck, spreads down your spine and kind of feels like a wave of euphoria?

Yes, I believe so. It doesn't go very far down my spine, upper thoracic at most.

I've always experienced ASMR, however I just found out today there is an actual name for it. Getting haricuts seem to give me the most powerful ASMR. I'm really interested in the science behind what causes such a sensation. Really really good blog post ^_^

Edit: If anyone is interested, there is a really good Youtube channel that focuses on sounds that cause ASMR. http://www.youtube.com/user/SOUNDsculptures I'm not affiliated with the channel at all, just putting it out there.

I never experienced this and those videos where a woman whispers actually make me aggressive and want to smash somebody's face. Actually not one of these videos relaxes me at all. Oh well, I'd like to know that feeling though.

I suspect it's because that portion of the body rarely comes in contact with anything.
Similar to being ticklish.

i love that when i google "autonomous sensory meridian response" this is one of the top hits. check reddit.com/r/asmr for more triggers. anyone know of any ways that can trigger it by yourself ie without another person or thing triggering it (type b triggers)?

I found that healthy eating, and avoiding too much sugar, a little sugar but not too much otherwise your brain gets all anesthetized. Synesthesia is another effect I've gotten from it. Omega 3's helped me too, they are nearly autonomous for me now.
