As we've come to find out, ASMR videos have long been a balm for anxiety sufferers and people with insomnia because of their ability to induce feelings of deep relaxation.
, or the rapidly devolving state of media . There was also a surprise visit from a mouse in my apartment—one which, horrifyingly, crept its way into my bed—that cost me weeks of sleep and well-being.

Julia’s brand of ASMR is all about self-care and simulating touch—an especially useful tool now, when many of us are feeling slightly feral and isolated, and. There’s also a pretend dialogue to the many role play videos on her feed, which adds an element of human connection, as if someone’s lovingly engaging in conversation with you.
In them, Julia often appears in a turtleneck with immaculately clean nails. Her face is rarely in frame, which I actually prefer—unlike other ASMR-tists who like to look right into the camera, Jim Halpert style—since the focus is more on her long graceful fingers than her gaze. And her tone is always calm and inviting, whether she’s whispering or murmuring.
