ASMR: The Sleep Revolution
Insomnia to stress, people who experience the scalp-tickling Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response phenomenon claim that it cures their chronic sleep deprivation, ushering in reliable on-demand tranquility. Amongst a plethora of remedies on pharmacy shelves, ASMR stands out as a natural, biological sleep aid that induces deep relaxation using only the mind. Emerging from an internet subculture to mainstream conversation, thousands of videos are uploaded each day in the attempts of recreating the strange euphoric feeling in the minds of viewers. Simple actions such as whispering, tapping, and hand movements have the ability to illicit an unparalleled sensation. This book delves into the booming ASMR community: addressing misconceptions, theorising origins, and exploring the science behind it.

Not especially well written, and I didn’t learn much that I didn’t already know (though the section on synesthesia was quite interesting).
Still, I can respect its attempt to gather what little information we currently have about the phenomenon. It might be a good starting point for the un- or newly initiated, or those who don’t experience it at all.
