While watching Bob Ross, painting videos on PBS, back in the 80s, I found the sound of his voice so soothing that I’d fall asleep. I recently discovered that a name as been coined for this: ASMR, and there’s a lot of people who are using this for relaxation. Has anyone else benefitted from this new phenomena?

That’s new to me.  What do the letters in ASMR stand for?

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.
Not everyone experiences the sensation. Some call it the “tingles” because they get a tingling sensation in the back of their head. Triggers can be the human voice, other sounds or even watching someone methodically do a task.

Is this something you listen to?
