Is this a normal thing? #asmr
So basically, its been quite a few months since this has happened. One day, I got super relaxed on listening to an ASMR video, where a lady kept on scratching a mic, tapping some random stuffs and tearing some aesthetically beautiful papers for journalling. Since that day, I got kinda hooked up with these type pf sounds.
And now whenever I try to sleep or prolly want to take some rest, I tune onto some ASMR videos and this helps me from falling asleep and destress myself.
Is this a normal thing? I know that getting addicted to something is obviously not a good thing but I just can't ignore the feeling of getting some brain tingles.
Some good sleep and ASMR helps. Its not like that I can't sleep or something but these kind of visuals and audio are super satisfying.
Feel free to have some open discussions on this thread.
Thank you in advance. :)
Hey @evythatsmee ☺️
It's wonderful that you've found something like ASMR that brings you relaxation and comfort. It's quite normal and even beneficial for many people to use certain sounds or visuals to unwind and aid sleep. ASMR isn't just a trend but a genuine sensory experience that can have calming effects on the mind and body. It's great to hear that you're not dependent on it for sleep, but rather it enhances your relaxation. It's always about balance, and as long as it's a part of a healthy routine and not a necessity, it sounds like a positive addition to your life. Remember, what works for you is what matters most. Keep enjoying those brain tingles! 🌟
@Jem7Cups thank you so much. I needed to hear this. 😊
Hey evy,
I dont see any problem neither. It s not like an addiction but more a tool you can use to destress and fall asleep.
An addiction is something bad for your health, altough you can t help but do it. Hearing scratches or tap can t do you anything bad :).
For me, i have the same feeling as you with white noises, especially fan heater or hair dryer. It calms me down ald help me fall asleep.
So enjoy asmr wothout any worries.
As a medicine student i can confirm it is absouletly normal and you enjoy how many times you want 😉 😀
