I wasn't exactly sure what forum would be most appropriate to post this thread because it is rather random and not well known.
Some people here may or may not have heard of ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is a form of video-making that is currently trending on YouTube, but in a rather subtle and underground kind of way. It may sound strange for those who've never heard of it, but it essentially consists of people making videos of them doing random tasks like, tapping on objects, flipping through pages in a book, whispering, doing virtual scalp massages, etc. These activities are called "triggers" and for someone who can experience ASMR they get tingly feelings in their head and ears when listening to these "triggers," which ultimately helps them relax, fall asleep, etc.
I know, I know it seems SUPER weird for those who've never heard of it, but I had stumbled upon ASMR videos when I was in my freshman year in college. I had always had issues falling asleep, and used to take melatonin every single night to try to fall asleep. I had randomly stumbled upon this video of a woman getting a massage and experienced tingly feelings in my head that made me feel sleepy and was able to fall asleep with no melatonin. Then, videos started popping up about "ASMR" and I had no idea what that was, but once I started watching a few I realized that the purpose of the videos was to induce that same tingly feeling to help someone fall asleep or relax.
Some people experience this feeling in settings like, listening to someone lecture
