After seeing how many people trust the ASMR at night calm and fall asleep at night, I wanted to go. My interest was particularly affected when I came out on a video on Instagram where a woman was whispering in a microphone, copying the doctor’s reception and booking you for a meeting.
My quick reaction was, ‘How much is it on earth that will help me sleep?’ I am sure I’m not alone when I say that the booking of a doctor’s appointment is not the most quiet experience, and if it comes to buy an excellent mattress to help me get faster sleep, I know what option I will go for.
After that I rotated the rabbit hole of strange ASMR videos, with millions of ideas and liking each. From people to the big piles of food (known as mocking), to people who scare and tap random things, the world of ASMR was interesting and sometimes slightly disturbing.

But if it works for everyone, why should I not go? I talked to ASMR expert, Craig Richard, why the science behind this asleep is growing, and after trying it, why didn’t it work so good for me.
What is ASMR and how can it help you sleep?
Craig Richards, co -author of ASMR’s first Brian Scan Study, the founder of the website ‘ASMR University’ and author of the ASMR book ‘Brian Tungs’, described ASMR as a deeply comfortable feeling with “light and pleasant brain colors.”
People seek ASMR triggers because it helps them feel relief, low pressure, more comfortable and more sleepy,
Richards explained, “Specific aspects that encourage ASMR are called” ASMR triggers “and they include whisper, soft conversation, light touching, careful eyes and soft sounds.”
“Our team’s research data and data posted by others show that most people look for ASMR triggers because it helps them get comfortable, low pressure, more comfortable and more sleep,”
In fact, Richards attribute the ASMR in the same way as we give comfort to a newborn baby. Basic elements, such as shirting, gentle words and kindness are also commonly seen in the ASMR.

Richards explained, “ASMR triggers are effective to calm others because they express care and safety to the other person, which triggers the parasampatic nervous system to bring a comfortable condition.”
Parasimpathic nervous system is responsible for our comfort and digestive process compared to our sympathetic nervous system. This comfortable condition in both the body and the brain can help people fall asleep.
My experience to use ASMR for sleep
My first night trying ASMR
I wanted to stay away from eating any fake appointments or videos, mainly because I knew that I was going very hard to sleep. I got a playlist to calm the ASMR on spotifies and pressed games.
After leaving some (very whispering, too much cranks), I settled on the sounds of nature, the audio of flowing water and stirring leaves remained safe in the world.
Initially, I found it comfortable, but with my phone on the pillow, tinnie sounds quickly bothered. At the same time I found that I needed a good pair of headphones to get the full benefits of ASMR.
Nevertheless, I was steadily and swap until I could find some classic tapping and scratch. I was promised that instead of ‘brainwashing’, I was almost turning the tlan on the sounds. They were very fast, very quiet and unfortunate, very disturbing. After 20 minutes, I gave up and enjoyed quietly.

My second and third attempt to use ASMR to go faster
The next two nights was well ready. I used my air pods instead of a phone speaker and spent time looking for the right playlist on spotifies. I just sat on ‘asmr to sleep)’ which seemed to be a good choice for me.
I started with ‘Tentily Mental Mass Scratching’ to get you sleep and it was very enthusiastic to experience everyone thinks it is a great feeling. I settled, closed the lights and the pressed game.

Little scrubs and tapping began and for a second I thought I was feeling a pleasant feeling.
But it was soon changed. It was almost almost as if someone was breathing heavy in my ear (my pet urine, especially on public transport). And now with the headphones, it was even more severe.
Richards advised that “before someone concludes that ASMR does not work for them, they should take a sample of ASMR’s widespread content,” I left the next one.
But after some different sounds (including the Lego Building) I realized that ASMR doesn’t work for me. I give up and come back, which in fact helps me sleep.
Why did ASMR not help me sleep?
Richards explained, “If you have tried a lot of ASMR content and often makes you feel angry or angry, you are probably facing misunderstandings.”
He added, “Mosque is a very negative reaction to specific sounds. ASMR can be mobilized in a person with such sounds, typing, tapping, and chewing, and corruption in another person.”

Richards explained, “The key thing that is common in the splendor and Smur is the most sensitive of a stimulus, often like a sound, chewing or tapping.”
“Some studies of the brain scan of sensitive people sensitive to sensitive people and misunderstandings show that some of their mental territory are wire differently than in control groups.”
So, if you are anything like me, you may need a slightly different routine at night to help you sleep fast.
Originally the thing that helps me get a sharp sleep
Air plug and sleep mask
If I am struggling to sleep, catching a sleep mask and my air plug usually helps me to remove me quickly.
By blocking the integration noise and light, I can create an environment that is suitable for sleeping. I also know that if I do not have the option to open my eyes, my brain stops trying to find a stimulus and eventually closes.

I choose to wrap around the blackout silk sleep mask that also covers my ears. It is comfortable and cool (but still unlikely to stay all night).
Air Plugs’ LI, I have dug the rough foam and replaced them with a soft silicone loop silent 2s. Both work very well and do not cause any inconvenience at night.
Change the scholarly
If I am awake, I can almost guarantee that my head has been filling with disturbing ideas for the past few weeks and has been running the conversation again.
I really find it difficult to break this cycle, and if I don’t break it, I have the possibility of waking up with a racing heart until the early hours.
It was until I tried to change the academic. The purpose of this concept is to create a copy of how to treat your brain naturally before you go to bed.
You all have to think about a random item, imagine how it looks like it and then imagine another random, irrelevant item. You continue this way until your brain tries to understand your thoughts and must be ‘switch off’, making you sleep. It’s amazingly effective.
Night -time routine

What happens about what happens while you are awake. Evening your bedtime is equally important.
Repeating the same calm activities every morning not only gives the body and the brain comfortable, but you give you a hint that the time has come and it is time to sleep. Personally, I have noticed that a hot bath and book have been prepared for some time with essential oils.
It is also a good idea to stop scrolling on your phone before bed, as it can be very stimulating especially for anxious minds.
