If I actually go to bed "on time" or anywhere close to it, I can't sleep. (For me to get eight hours, I'd have to be asleep by 9:30.) Even with the fan. Even with my favorite ASMR vid.
I regularly get to bed a bit after eleven. By which time I'm stupidly sleepy. And then I pull up an ASMR vid, usually this one, and fast forward about two minutes in to where she's holding the shirt and jacket and touching them and talking, and what is it about the way she moves her hands? I think it's why most ASMR vids don't work for me--it's not just the voice/personal attention, but the deliberate way she moves her hands. Anyway, I almost always pretty much drop dead asleep before she's done and moved on to looking at photos in magazines. I do like the magazine sounds though.
....I've lost most of you, haven't I? A quick google on ASMR will pull stuff up, but this recent article on NYT's blog does a good job. Fucking love ASMR shit. I had no idea, until a couple of years ago, that that feeling had a name or that other people felt it or that there was a whole community of people on youtube making videos designed to induce it.
ANYWAY
I'm averaging six hours of sleep a night. And you can see it in my face--I have circles under my eyes and stuff. Ugh.
