Are you feeling restless and need a non-medical aid that will help you fall asleep? ASMR can help you with that! What is ASMR, you ask? ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, which is a calming and pleasuring feeling which is often accompanied by a tingling sensation. The stimuli that can trigger ASMR vary from person to person, with the most common being tapping, white noise, whispering, and many others. This type of content can be found on YouTube with "ASMR" in the title of the video. There is the normal type of ASMR videos that will give you those sweet tingles, but there are some special cases where ASMRtists (people who make ASMR videos) got a little too creative. I'm not trying to say that these videos are bad, but they're so creative that it will make you think, "Why did I click on this video?"
Karen Wants to Speak With the Manager! (ASMR)
We've all been there. We've all dealt with a Karen, whether you were a retail worker or a person on the street. This ASMR video by CrinkleLuvin ASMR brings the stereotype to life with her saying that she has to take her kids to soccer practice, wants to speak to the manager and that she's going to go on social media and talk about "horrible" service she received. But it doesn't end there, because she has other mishaps, like complaining to Xbox support!

ASMR Meme Review
Who knew that a meme review would be turned into something so comforting? Gibi ASMR reads the memes one by one and has a good chuckle while reading them. With ASMR being an existing entity, people got creative and memeified the YouTube genre.
There are some more creative ASMR videos that are more out of the ordinary and will make you say, "What did I just watch?" The videos listed above are my personal favorites and I hope you get those tingling feelings if you decide to try ASMR. The triggers in the videos don't work for you? Don't worry! Try to find that one trigger that suits you best and enjoy that certain trigger to your heart's content. Happy tingling!
