Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a deeply relaxing sensation characterized by tingling that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the spine. This pleasant feeling is triggered by specific auditory, visual, and tactile stimuli—from whispers and gentle tapping to personal attention and slow movements.
While the sensation has likely existed throughout human history, the term "ASMR" was coined in 2010, marking the beginning of a global community united by this unique experience. Today, millions worldwide use ASMR to relax, sleep better, and reduce anxiety.
