ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) is a wild and crazy brain response to certain sounds, visuals, or even actions. You feel tingles, extreme relaxation, and/or anxiety relief. Some people have it triggered via whispering, eating, mouth sounds, slime, Bob Ross, or the light licks of a million puppies. Even those light pets your significant other traces on your back to help you fall asleep! That's ASMR! It's science!
