ASMR impacts relaxation by inducing a tingling sensation that starts at the scalp and extends down the body, promoting feelings of calm and well-being. It has been reported to enhance relaxation and reduce stress levels, helping users feel more peaceful and at ease [1][2][3][5]. Studies have shown that ASMR can activate brain areas associated with pleasure and relaxation, leading to significant reductions in heart rate and increased feelings of excitement and calmness among experiencers [6].

The soothing effects of ASMR can also contribute to improved sleep quality by alleviating anxiety and distracting from intrusive thoughts, making it a valuable tool for many seeking relaxation [4][5][6].
