How can ASMR effects be used as a sleep aid?
ASMR relaxes the brain by psychologically "massaging" it, the tingles you feel. This relaxation causes calmness and in some cases makes people sleepy.
Are autonomous sensory meridian response and meditation related?
In a way they are. Both meditation and ASMR require the person to be open minded and in a quiet room in order to work. Both meditation and ASMR relax the individual and calm them, sometimes making them sleepy or allowing fresh ideas to pour into their heads. Psychologists studying both have found that the brain activity of people meditating and people experiencing ASMR are pretty much the same.
How did awareness of ASMR spread?
Awareness of ASMR has mostly spread through the use of social networking online. The most popular platform for ASMR experiences seems to be Youtube. There are also occasionally events related to ASMR, such as "National Hug Your Brain Day.
Why does ASMR make people relaxed?
