ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It refers to a relaxing and tingling sensation that some individuals experience in response to specific visual, auditory, or tactile stimuli. ASMR content often includes videos or audio recordings featuring whispers, tapping, scratching, or gentle sounds, designed to trigger these sensations and provide a sense of relaxation or euphoria to those who experience it. People use ASMR to alleviate stress, anxiety, or insomnia, and it has gained popularity as a form of online entertainment and relaxation technique.

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).
