Guys ASMR (which stands for a whole heap of nonsense - autonomous sensory meridian response) is my life saver. For those of you who don't know, ASMR is really soft noises like whispering or finger nails tapping on books or even the swoosh of makeup brushes, which give you a tingling feeling. It helps a lot with relaxation.
And that's what I use it for. Life's been pretty hard recently. Not just because I've been off my feet due to my ankle, but for many other much worse reasons. And I'm not really sleeping very well at the moment. It takes me ages to drift off and I don't seem to be able to stay asleep for more than a few minutes.
I recently started watching ASMR videos on YouTube while I was trying to drop off. And guys, these videos have been helping me so much! They're so calming and the soothing noises help me drop off much faster than I do on my own.
I'm so thankful for this because on top of everything else which has been going on, I don't really need sleeping issues.
If any of you guys are interested in ASMR, you should check it out. It might help you as much as it has me. Some of my favourite channels are ASMR Darling and ALB in Whisperland. Both are really good so you should look into them.
ASMR is something people seem to love or hate. I personally love it. I find it really helpful, but I know a lot of people who laugh at it and say it's just a lot of weird noises that don't work. Please watch the videos before saying that it's just weird mumbo jumbo.
Anyhow, this is something which I've been listening to a lot and I really needed. I'm not sure if it will help you, but I thought it might be worth talking about.
I actually listen to ASMR for more than just sleeping. Like when I'm stressed out or angry, I just put on one of these videos and they help me a lot. To be honest, I've got one playing as I write this. It helps me concentrate. Plus it blocks out all the other noises of life which is an added bonus.
Do you like ASMR? Do you know any good channels I should check out?
