In the past; most of my layered videos were just a mash of random chaos . Mixed with as many components as I could possibly squeeze, creating a state of disorienting tingles. I loved those kinds of layered sounds in the past, but I rarely look for them these days. Calm, smooth, calculated and finessed is the current target. I used a completely different method of layering that should feel a lot more natural. The soothing sounds of waves crashing around you, will fade in and out during the whole video. While layering tapping and brushing sounds play at a soothing pace over top, like a rhythm encouraging deep sleep. All and all, a lot of fun new fun stuff.

ASMR is a reaction to sound, sometimes even causing a warm tingling sensation. Side effects may include: feelings of relaxation, calmness, comfort, moments of entertainment, followed by the intense need to sleep. Stress is the enemy.
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
