Why does ASMR make me so tired?

There are a few possible explanations for why some people feel tired after experiencing ASMR.

• One theory is that the relaxing and tingling sensations associated with ASMR may trigger a release of the “sleep hormone” melatonin.
• Additionally, the feeling of being lulled to sleep by soft, calming voices or gentle touches may also contribute to fatigue following an ASMR experience.
• Finally, people predisposed to fatigue or drowsiness may be more likely to experience these effects after watching ASMR videos. If you find that ASMR makes you tired, it might be best to enjoy it before bedtime or during a nap.
