What is International Asmr Day?
Every year on April 9th, International ASMR Day raises the alarm of a perceptive phenomenon called Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.. It's also a day to concentrate on the various sounds and photographs that cause this tingling sensation in humans..
Have you ever had a tingling sensation that starts in your head, extends down your spine, and extends to the rest of your body? If so, you have had an Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR). (ASMR) This sensation isn't a strange or frightening sensation.. Rather, many people who have had an ASMR find it to be a helpful and relaxing feeling..
This sensation is most often triggered in socially intimate settings, according to psychologists. The pleasurable sensation is often triggered by physical movements or sounds.. Examples of these triggers include: hearing someone brush their hair or listening to whispers. In 2010, online communities first started reporting ASMR episodes. It's not known how many ASMR users are aware of ASMR. According to one report, anywhere from 20 to 70% of the population experiences ASMR.. Many that don't ever feel this sensation have a difficult time believing it's true.
The sensation of ASMR is relieving for people who have had episodes of it. Many companies have produced ASMR videos targeted at this particular audience due to this. People are shown slowly folding towels and sorting baseball cards in these videos. Other videos are role-playing scenarios in which the host simulates the act of giving the viewer a haircut or beauty care. Many that participate in ASMR also embrace certain artists, such as Billie Eilish, who often sings in a soft, whispery voice. ASMR's supporters claim that videos that contain these elements can help people depress and sleep better.
