[quote]a strange, tingly sensation, known in some corners of the Internet as a brain orgasm. Whispering is a primary trigger, but anything from the sound a pen makes when drawing on a piece of paper to rhythmic, monotonous speech can spark an episode. And it’s not just about sounds. Having someone focus specifically on you–such as when an optometrist performs an eye exam or when your hairdresser cuts your bangs–can also invoke the same feeling; the sensation of someone gently tracing lines on your back or stroking your hair can incite that familiar fizzle.[/quote] Now, there's not much research on this and people experience ASMR in so many different ways that it's incredibly hard to describe. I never even realized that I actually experience ASMR on a daily basis, until I read this article by Time. Every day/night, my husband runs his fingers lightly across my back/legs/arms (depending on how we're laying). Literally every day/night. It's become habitual and I never knew just how important it is to me. What's your ASMR?
