14, female. I started watching ASMR completely randomly and as I kept watching it, I got more and more obsessed. It's just so relaxing and calming to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Female, 20, I don’t tend to watch/listen to ASMR intentionally, however, when I do come across it during advertisements, it does tend to have an impact on me and I listen/pay more attention to the advert etc as a result

# data[].attributes.body
25 F - yep, I watch it to fall asleep and also to drown out people noises.

# data[].attributes.body
27, Female. I love ASMR. I originally started listening to it when I first realized i had tinnitus (i go to a lot of rock concerts). It was hard to sleep or relax with all the ringing, so i looked for some videos to help overcome that. I discovered ASMR & have been in love with it for over 4 yrs, I listen/watch it everyday. I love almost any kind of asmr except romantic roleplays & mouth sounds.

# data[].attributes.body
18 male. I've never experienced tingles, but I do find asmr to be particularly relaxing. I mostly listen to help fall asleep or to relax during work.

# data[].attributes.body
25/female/yes, I enjoy the consistency of the gentle sounds and the peace of mind they provide.

# data[].attributes.body
20, male. I tend to listen to asmr more than watch the videos themselves. It helps me sleep and wind down at night, and drowns out my tinnitus.

# data[].attributes.body
Same person here, i dont like the roleplays i just like listening to the stories and sounds. Maybe you can encourage the role play to stop lol

# data[].attributes.body
I like asmr when i meditate. The more i listen the more it occurs naturally
Its like medicine, and it feels nice, plus it fills my belly with energy that helps me meditate and stay focused on my meditation.

# data[].attributes.body
22 male. I started listening/watching ASMR late last year. I use it to wind down my overactive brain, and occasionally get tingles. Also I get too into music and can't use that as white noise to study to.

# data[].attributes.body
20 F. I started listening to ASMR for the tingles but after years of listening to it I've become almost immune so I mostly just listen to it to relax and fall asleep.

# data[].attributes.body
I watch ASMR to fall asleep and relax. Tingles provide me with a natural euphoria, better than drugs

# data[].attributes.body
I use ASMR to make up for the lack of social life with the opposite gender.

# data[].attributes.body
Yup. Sleep hypnosis mainly for sleep, also occasionally just for lowering tension. Am male, mid 20s

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. I watch ASMR videos primarily to help me sleep. I find myself watching them in the middle of the day just to induce the tingles.

# data[].attributes.body
24, Male, I put it on to relax about 30 minutes before I go to bed. It's usually playing in the background while I'm doing something that doesn't require much attention.

# data[].attributes.body
Male, 23. II watch and listen to asmr, it's relaxing and calms me down. I dont like moist/chewing noises and prefer whispers/tapping sounds. It also helps me go to sleep when I need a nap/actually sleep

# data[].attributes.body
Female, 25, yes I watch ASMR. It’s very soothing and comforting, and helps me relax. I really enjoy the makeup application/spa treatment, face touching, and tapping videos.

# data[].attributes.body
24/M. I sometimes watch to relax, but mostly listen. This can be before bed or even during the day during particularly anxious periods. The tingles combined with quasi-personal attention serves to relax me.

# data[].attributes.body
Male, 38. Yes: I have brain cancer and find ASMR, especially no talking tapping videos, helps with headache pain. I generally have in the background as "white noise" during the day, or more active listening to go to sleep.

Edit: Cannot stand mouth noises like eating though.

# data[].attributes.body
29/f/yes I started watching guided meditation to help me relax and fall asleep. I stumbled upon GentleWhispering and TheWaterWhispers by chance when ASMR was barely a thing. They were so gentle, and I rediscovered that tingley feeling I had a lot as a kid. It felt comfortable and safe, and it definitely helped me sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
27/M/Yes, it's relaxing and sometimes creates physical sensations. I've also watched so much it's almost like following celebrities and being entertained with what they do and say.

# data[].attributes.body
16/F/I love asmr!!! it’s so relaxing and also something nice to have on in the background or listen to to help concentrate or fall asleep! I watch it basically every day ☺️☺️ but I mainly watch GibiASMR and sometimes other channels, I just live her content so much.

# data[].attributes.body
36/F/Yes
I watch ASMR for occasional tingles, but mostly to fall asleep.

# data[].attributes.body
24, female, most of the mouth ASMR triggers my misophonia and makes me extremely irate so I don’t listen. The asmr with things like cutting sand or soap are nice tho

# data[].attributes.body
31/m - I listen to it while I work. Sometimes I play the audio on my phone as white noise while I sleep. Extremely relaxing. If sounds were hot or cold, ASMR would be a warm comfy sound

# data[].attributes.body
Male, 21, I do watch ASMR frequently. Though I do not experience the sensation of ASMR myself, I find certain sounds extremely relaxing (tapping on wood, whispering, and brushing especially). Additionally, hearing people whisper to me through headphones or earbuds makes me feel slightly less alone.

# data[].attributes.body
50, Male, Yes.  I enjoy the tingling scalp feeling.  Watching ASMR videos helps me to create that feeling on demand.

# data[].attributes.body
20/m yes. Helps me sleep, I'm having a hard time sleeping sometimes and it helps me from time to time

# data[].attributes.body
29/m yes. It helps me relax and clear my mind

# data[].attributes.body
44/F - I mostly listen. Occasionally I will watch if I am stressed or have a headache, but the sound is usually what appeals to me the most. I find the sound of some things soothing: flipping through books, crinkly paper, clicky keyboards, some kinds of mouth sounds (if they aren't too extreme), slow, deliberate speech or whispering, etc It helps me sleep and calm down, provides someone to listen to when I am lonely, entertaining, and sometimes helps me get rid of headaches.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. It helps me fall asleep and relax sometimes. I don’t usually get tingles it’s just relaxing.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. It allows me to sleep better.

# data[].attributes.body
31/f, yes I watch ASMR almost every night to relax/fall asleep. I do still get tingles but it’s mostly just a relaxing way to euphorically drift into sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
37, F, Yes, because (1) I get "tingles," which feel almost euphoric, and (2) it helps me sleep at night if I'm struggling to get calm.

# data[].attributes.body
28/ F. Yes, I watch ASMR. I watch it to relax, to fall asleep, to help sooth anxiety. I listen to it at work, at home, in the car. Every day I watch the videos. I honestly don't know what I did before I started watching the videos. And i don't understand how anyone can not watch it!

# data[].attributes.body
28 / female / yes / I watch asmr to help me go to sleep and generally relax. I have issues with depression, anxiety, and insomnia, so I find that asmr is an absolute lifesaver for my everyday life.

# data[].attributes.body
Male, 30, Yes
I listen because sometimes my body has a reaction as clear and distinct as some of the drugs i have tried. It is amazing.

# data[].attributes.body
Male/23/yes

# data[].attributes.body
28, Female, Yes I watch/listen to ASMR. Getting tingles is an added bonus, but I mostly watch it to feel relaxed.

# data[].attributes.body
22 | Female | Yes. ASMR helps me sleep. Gentle Whispering is my favorite.

# data[].attributes.body
26/Female/Yes. I watch ASMR videos every night before bed, I have a core group of 4 ASMRtists that I typically view at bedtime, I have struggled with sleep with mental illness and ASMR helps. When I'm working on long assignments for grad school I will put on ASMR for white noise typically videos with no talking.

# data[].attributes.body
21/male/ it's relaxing and simulates the company of someone

# data[].attributes.body
19/m/ just rate it tbf mate

# data[].attributes.body
30/m/to relax and occasionally to fall asleep

# data[].attributes.body
16/female/ I do listen to asmr, as I experience tingles that relax me immensely. I struggle with anxiety and asmr helps calm all that down, and helps me sleep

# data[].attributes.body
Female // 21 // Yes. I cannot sleep without ASMR. I don’t necessarily feel the tingles anymore but it’s now part of my routine and it relaxes me to the level I need to be at for sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
23M yes its dope sometimes for just tingles and at night to help sleep

# data[].attributes.body
26 / female / yes.
I watch ASMR nearly every night to fall asleep. I don't necessarily need it to fall asleep most nights but it has become a ritual to put on my headphones when I lay down for the night. I believe I fall asleep faster on normal days, and helps me fall asleep at all on bad nights.

# data[].attributes.body
19 / M / Yes. The first ASMR video I watched, I got the actual glittery tingles in the back-half of my head, and I almost felt high. It's been a while since I've felt that, now I just listen for the relaxed vibe in the videos. It's so calming, most internet content is so loud. I probably listen around 3-4 times a week.

# data[].attributes.body
47/male/yes - both for calming but also for actual ASMR effect. The calming videos don't usually have the tingle effect for me, the more 'hyperreal' ones (scratching, tapping, abstract) ones can do though.

# data[].attributes.body
23, male. Yes, I do quite a bit when I have time

# data[].attributes.body
20 / M / Because I experience the ASMR tingles near the top of my head that feel pleasant, along with the audio I fall asleep easier when I listen to ASMR, though I do it a few times a month.

# data[].attributes.body
27, female, yes, mostly for the tingles.

# data[].attributes.body
27 m, yes, everytime I go to bed alone. But I don't like "roleplay" asmr at all,  I find it weird. But listen to someone speaking softly about him/herself is very relaxing.

# data[].attributes.body
21 / M / Yes, because it is pleasant and relaxing, and provides ambient noise that does not bother me when I am tired.

# data[].attributes.body
Male, 18. I like to listen to ASMR whilst studying and before bed. Especially tapping and cooking videos.

# data[].attributes.body
29, male, Yes I watch ASMR, a mix of visual and audio triggers gives me the most tingles. I watch it to relax and to get tired before bed. I am also using high quality headphones for it and with some microphones I can feel the breath on my ears when the artist is close up to the mic, which makes it so much better. Most listening for relaxation and some personal attention to make me happier.

# data[].attributes.body
28, female. Yes I watch ASMR, because I love the tingly feeling it gives me and it's also very soothing and relaxing. I listen/watch before I go to sleep, and even sometimes when I'm working on my laptop or reading.

# data[].attributes.body
35 / F / Yes, for the tingles, to help me fall asleep, and for entertainment. ASMRTists are so creative!

# data[].attributes.body
37, female. I watch ASMR videos every night for the tingles and to help me fall asleep. I could sleep without it but I like it a lot so I do it whenever I can.

# data[].attributes.body
age: 18
gender: male

hell yea i do, i do it for tingles, i do it because it’s relaxing, i do it because it helps me sleep. i think it’s very important to make a distinction though between tingle-asmr and sleep-asmr. they’re very similar, but i can hardly sleep to asmr that’s designed to induce tingles and i hardly get tingles from asmr designed for sleep. still, i enjoy both.

# data[].attributes.body
37, female, Because it relaxes me and I enjoy the tingly relaxed feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
35 / M / Been asmr sensitive for my entire life and so is my wife. We used to chat about those beautiful moments when we had tingles at random times and then we discovered Asmr had a name and that there were videos (about 3 years ago). I watch ASMR videos daily since to relax.

# data[].attributes.body
23 / M/ I've always had hard time sleeping my entire life. Partly because of tinnitus and partly because of thoughts. Asmr is sort of like meditation. It blocks out my tinnitus and thoughts, just makes me focused on the sound. Also makes you feel less lonely too, get tingles sometimes from good sounds. I've listened to asmr since 2014 a d now I can't sleep without it.

# data[].attributes.body
21, male. I watch ASMR videos to procrastinate going to sleep with something that puts me to sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
37/m. i wouldn't say i'm a huge fan or that i seek out asmr videos to watch all the time, but it's interesting as a cultural phenomenon, and i like seeing creative new approaches.

# data[].attributes.body
32/female/it helps me with anxiety.

# data[].attributes.body
21 / F / I do watch ASMR, but there isn't really reasoning why I do. I just find it soothing and interesting. I tend to gravitate towards slime ASMR (adding colors/powders/items/etc into the slime) or soap cutting ASMR. Sometimes I enjoy watching mukbang ASMR with "exotic" foods, like those that are from different countries and such.

# data[].attributes.body
23/female/ the first asmr content i heard was a haircut experience when I was about 15. The 3D sounds rendered tingly feelings around my scalp and that sort of “6th sense” sensation of soemone being behind me when of course they weren’t. I didn’t hear of it again for a couple more years, but when I did I again enjoyed the sensation. It’s a fun feeling but it can be relaxing too or just good white noise. Recently I began suffering from tinnitus and I’ve found that while I am working (software development) it makes for good white noise. If I am focusing on the ASMR I can get tingles, but when I’m not it helps block out the ringing and is still pleasant and relaxing. I haven’t found it as helpful for sleep, to me it is a more active experience than that, especially if I am watching the video with it, though often I just listen on Spotify. Having a visual too can create a very realistic sensation that quite frankly is just fun.

# data[].attributes.body
33, male, I watch ASMR videos for both the relaxation and intimacy elements

# data[].attributes.body
22 / F / I’ve been watching asmr for nearly 10 years, since I was a kid. I don’t get the ”asmr-feeling” anymore, but I watch before I sleep just to drown out my own brain, if that makes sense.

# data[].attributes.body
23 M. It all started with me looking for things similar to the virtual barbershop. Then I found fast asmr and softly galoshes. But, I didn't really get into it until I had to start adapting to trying to sleep in the heart of a city instead of where I grew up, in the middle of the woods. My favorite triggers nowadays are hand movements and whispering.

# data[].attributes.body
40, F, yes, I watch to relax and to destress, they help calm my thoughts if I'm stuck on a problem and also help me fall asleep.

# data[].attributes.body
M 22/ Yes; I find it extremely relaxing.

# data[].attributes.body
14, female, I watch ASMR to relax, fall asleep, or stop feeling anxious. I sometimes use it to study. I like to listening to people eating, whispering or tapping, but I don't get tingles from listening.

# data[].attributes.body
19m, helps me sleep, also great background when working on pc

# data[].attributes.body
23/M Watch asmr mostly as backround noise whilst using my computer, sometimes to sleep. Can help with tinnitus.

# data[].attributes.body
36/Female/ I have insomnia from my busy mind and don’t want to take sleep medications. Asmr calms my mind enough to sleep and relax from the day

# data[].attributes.body
21 - Female

I have been watching ASMR since I was 11 when I accidentally discovered it on YouTube. As soon as I watched ASMR for the first time I knew I loved it. The sounds are so relaxing to me even though I don't get tingles. I listen to ASMR every night before bed and it always helps me fall asleep.

# data[].attributes.body
14 Male I watch asmr because of anxiety and stress I can't sleep without it and it is a great way to slow down

# data[].attributes.body
28, female, I watch ASMR mainly because it helps quiet my mind for sleep. It gives me something to focus on other than my internal monologue. The tingles are a nice bonus.

# data[].attributes.body
Asmr is more for entertainment for me. It's such a diverse form of entertainment. From the normal in my life type of videos. To whole universes of different characters and places (ex Ephemeral Rift). While it does get me to sleep I prefer to watch it just for fun. Hope this helps.

# data[].attributes.body
24, female, I started watching it about three-and-a-half years ago. Back then I got a ton of tingles and it helped me relax a lot. Nowadays I don't get tingles that often but it still relaxes me greatly. So I listen to it when I'm going to sleep or when I'm feeling anxious, or I'll use it for background noise while I'm doing something a little more peaceful like writing.

# data[].attributes.body
M/20, tbh I found it by clicking on a thumbnail of a beautiful girl (btw that's how I got into my current music taste like 6 years ago too). I got into it and experienced really strong tingles for the first time. Now it helps me relax in all situations, whether it be studying, gaming or going to sleep. I personally enjoy pure sound videos and don't get anything from RPs.

# data[].attributes.body
41, male, Sometimes for background sounds, but often for the relaxing effect, the "tingles".  It doesn't relax like a drug, like taking a muscle relaxant, it's not a direct cause/effect, but when already winding down it really eases the process along.

# data[].attributes.body
13, female, I watched it at first for tingles but now I just mostly watch it to fall asleep/to relax because it actually helps a lot with that

# data[].attributes.body
13, female. Yes. I’ve been watching it for around 5 years, it helps with sleep, anxiety, calming down from panic attacks, calming down from when my sound sensitivity disorder is triggered, or just plain relaxing.

# data[].attributes.body
21, F, I watch ASMR because I wanted to experience the tingles. At first I felt nothing but after a while I managed to find my triggers. Now I watch it before going to sleep because it's nice to have sound playing in the background while I doze off.

# data[].attributes.body
17F Yeah, it helps with my chronic pain so I can sleep better as I'm focused on the sounds, not the pain

# data[].attributes.body
Female, I really like how calming it is and it's very helpful for my tinnitus to have constant background noise (the tingles are a plus!)

# data[].attributes.body
32F. Yes. I experience tingles. Helps me relax before bed. Helps with depression. I'm too broke to afford real-life reiki or massage, but ASMR is free.

# data[].attributes.body
22, female. Yes, I watch it to relax and fall asleep.

# data[].attributes.body
Male 45, I've been watching for about 6 years to help with insomnia.  The best sleep inducing videos for me are whispered and have gentle slow, delivery.   The eating and chewing ones that my kids like gross me out.

# data[].attributes.body
Male, 22, I started watching it originally to help me sleep because I was going through a tough time, and I still do watch it to help me sleep, but I also just watch for relaxation/creativity/inspiration etc. Good luck with your assignment! x

# data[].attributes.body
20, Male. I watch because it's pleasant and relaxing, and I occasionally get tingles.

# data[].attributes.body
24, Male. I listen to ASMR mostly to sleep faster unless the video includes one of my few triggers

# data[].attributes.body
26, non-binary, I watch before bed to help me relax enough to sleep.
