Don’t ask me to sleep before my nighttime neurology exam. ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) videos have long been a staple of my nighttime routine, but thanks to social media, it’s easier than ever to curl up in bed with the pop of bubble wands and the soft sounds of makeup application Doze brush. Essentially, ASMR videos use visual and audio-based “triggers” to reduce anxiety and help you fall asleep. These triggers are designed to trigger a tingling sensation that most people experience from the scalp to the upper spine.
In recent years, TikTok has become one of the biggest gold mines for all kinds of ASMR triggers (and ASMR art in general), featuring everything from fairy tale-themed cosplay to raucous mukbang. But with so many creators to choose from, finding what you’re looking for isn’t always easy. Whether you’re new to ASMR or a tried-and-true fan looking to add to your rolodex, you’ll enjoy all the triggers and excitement from our favorite ASMR artists on TikTok. While these creators all have different strengths, each has an impressive and unique ASMR method for improving sleep and reducing stress. Read on to learn about some of the best ASMR artists on TikTok (according to actual ASMR fans), including content highlights from each artist.
