You are Gordon Freeman, former scientist at the Black Mesa Research Facility and world hero extraordinaire. At the behest of a particular suitcase-carrying individual, you have been placed under the direct care of Professor Clemmons, Chief Psychologist and Medical Director of the Arkham Sanitarium for Mental Rehabilitation (rumors say the facility also operates as [REDACTED]).

I know headcrabs don't have legs that end in claws, but I did forget that Mr. Freeman used a crowbar, not a pipe wrench. But hey, you're here for the tingles, relaxation and sleep, not lore consistency, right? RIGHT!?!? Right. That's what I thought.

It is both a sensation and a medium. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant. ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
