Way back, back into time. Neanderthals, Troglodytes . . .
Twice in my teens, I was beyond exhaustion, just lying on my bed. Random noises from the kitchen, mildly silenced by my closed door, suddenly relieved a touch of my stress.
Many, MANY years later, I found out about that ASMR stuff. I don't get massive tingles or fall asleep or anything, but just the right sound at the right time, while just having my head down for ten minutes, does seem to relieve some of the stress and fatigue.
Anyone else had any luck?
