The number in front of each review indicates my rating for how well the video accomplishes the task of relaxing me to sleep. 5 = Works effectively and quickly, 1 = doesn't work at all
- [2/5 stars] Heather Feather: Trigger Fest for Relaxation and Sleep. 74 minutes
- Description: Heather sits at a desk and walks the user through a large number of ASMR props as she speaks quietly and sometimes jokes around.
- Pros:
- Heather is creative and highly focused on ASMR stimulus. She takes her time with each particular prop.
- Cons:
- Voice is important to me and I find that her tends to be somewhat rambling and doesn't keep my attention.
- If you care about camera work, Heather tends to sit below the camera which takes away from the stong presence I think is needed for ASMR videos.
- An idea sleep induction is about 10-15 minutes, so this video is pretty long.
- [4/5 stars] ASMRvelous: Guided Sleep Relaxation Version 1 (11 min), Version 2 (14 min)
- Description: Video of torso and arms only. ASMRvelous makes continuous gentle movements with her arms as she speaks gently and soothingly, guiding a sleep relaxation.
- Pros:
- Soothing voice with positive affirmations.
- Short and effective. I was dozing off in just a few minutes and was able to relax completely.
- Hand motions are ASMR inducing and soothing if you watch them.
- Cons:
- Sound is in mono and quality is poor with some background hiss.
- [3/5 stars] AMRvelous: Therapist Roleplay #2 12 Minutes
- Description: Video of therapist sitting in a chair, hips, torso and arms. ASMRvelous makes continuous gentle movements with her arms, using a folder prop, as she speaks gently and soothingly. Her subject is 360 degree feedback.
- Pros:
- The video has some strong ASMR triggers thanks to the focus on the hands and the prop.
- AMSRvelous' voice is very soothing and she always speaks positively
- Cons:
- Mono sound with a fair amount of hiss in the background.
- I'm neutral about how well a therapy roleplay gets me to sleep. It certainly is relaxing, but thinking about the subject matter tends to keep my brain awake.
