Benefits of watching ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) videos: Improves sleep Many people watch ASMR videos before bed. The "listening centers" in the brain are activated, and the body switches from "fight or flight" mode to "rest and digest" mode, which acts as a natural sleep aid for those struggling with insomnia.
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).
