SNUGGLE ME (ASMR sleep-aid)
🕑 Added 2021-03-10 23:29:03 +0000 UTCDo you listen to soothing sounds as you drift off to sleep at night? I found out by accident while making an audio that listening to a resting heartbeat sound really relaxed me. Since then I read a few scientific articles which suggest that the falling asleep to the sounds of someone else next to us may lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, reduce cytokines (inflammation), and boost our oxytocin, the βloveβ hormone which reduces anxiety and is responsible for our sleeping cycles.
So I bought a pair of sleeping headphones (I've got 'Acoustic Sheep' but maybe 'Mindband' are better?) and I made a proper stethoscope binaural recording of my own resting heartbeat and breathing. (It's super loud, so you'll want the sound turned down quite low...)
So please get your pillow and snuggle up with me tonight?

Just found this little pearl in the corner of this patreon universe. I once told you these kind of audio aren't thing's I like but you are kind of making me a fan π. I truly like your resting beat, It's so calming and i can even feel my own heartbeat slowdown. Truly a nice and really appreciated change to hear. A healthy heartbeat than al the heart monitors and their bleeping sounds during work now. π So let me snuggle up to you tonight so I can listen to your heartbeat β€ππ΄π΄

Hey Kris! Thanks for the note and letting me know you love this one too! I'd love to hear if you have any other YouTube go-tos which don't demand much attention?? I'm looking for some myself and aside from like streams flowing and nature scenes there isn't much out there huh... π

I'm apparently feeling nostalgic tonight. I originally found this on youtube in April while desperately scouring about for an ASMR that didn't ask me to think about or anticipate what was happing. Just a steady, simple sound for my mind to focus on. About 2 hours before finding this, my thoughts were spiraling out of control and I needed something to, for lack of a better word, hypnotize them back into a relaxed state. Turns out a heartbeat is really good at doing just that. I remember timing my breaths to match every eighth beat, unable to focus on anything more than that. Whatever inner turmoil my brain previously insisted on, those thoughts quickly subsided. I'm thankful that I haven't had to return to this audio trying to snap out of that headspace again, but I haven't really made my affections off this piece known. I value kindness and sincerity and find it odd I haven't extended such admirations to an audio that means so much to me. Until now, of course. Keep doing what you do Matthew. You never know what it'll end up meaning to someone π Much love and massive hugsπ π€ π

Oh so sorry to hear that, D. I hope itβs all for the best in the long term, even if that seems a long way off right now. In the meantime please do snuggle in! π π

Missing one of my safest places to sink into tonight having parted ways after 4 years. Absolutely shattered. π π’π May be quietly hidden here for a while.

I had a particularly bad day the other day and this really helped me feel safe, warm, and quieted my mind enough to actually get into some deep REM sleep, thanks, Matt!

So I've never thought to listen to an audio like this. After 2&1/2 yrs I forgot how calming it can be to listen to someone else next to you. Congrats on making it into my bedπWhy my phone desn't have a five emoji is beyond me but let us pretend lol π
Matthew Tower
Youβre welcome!! I really find hearing someone elseβs heart beat relaxing... but then... Snoring... not so much. π€£
