What does the abbreviation “ASMR” stand for?
Correct!
ASMR stands for “autonomous sensory meridian response.” It describes a pleasant tingling sensation that some people experience in response to certain sounds or calm visual stimuli, often beginning around the head or neck. Common ASMR triggers include whispering, gentle tapping, rustling, and very slow hand movements. Many people use ASMR videos to relax or fall asleep.
