There are so many different ways to get better sleep and to fall asleep faster—melatonin supplementsweighted blankets, the U.S. Army's technique—but finding the one that works for you isn't always easy. One trick you might not have considered is using ASMR to help you sleep. You're probably thinking, "Wait, isn't ASMR those YouTube videos that involve veggie-crunching and lip-smacking?" Why, yes—yes, it is. But it's so much more than the sound of pickles being eaten way too close to a microphone.

There are plenty of ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) videos to choose from online and the tingling sensations it causes might help you to finally get some quality shut-eye. According to the National Sleep Foundation, watching videos that feature quiet, calming sounds, like tapping of fingers or soft speaking, can help trigger a feeling of relaxation when you're ready to sleep. We combed through millions of videos to select just nine of the very best that use ASMR to help you sleep. You'll pass out like a baby tonight.
