Mark your calendars for April 9, because it's time to celebrate the soothing and delightful experience of ASMR on International ASMR Day! Standing for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, ASMR is a sensation characterized by a tingling feeling in the scalp and neck, often triggered by certain sounds or visual stimuli. This day was created to bring awareness to this phenomenon and recognize its calming effects on individuals. So grab your headphones and get ready for some satisfying whispers and gentle tapping – it's time to relax and unwind.
