Sleeping With ASMR

Welcome to the Procrastination Pen and the latest series which is featuring ASMR. More specifically, videos which will soothe you back to sleep after you have woken for the third time from your most tenacious nightmare.

The output of these articles is a playlist of videos which you can watch in shuffle mode on YouTube (or more probably if you are trying to get some sleep – listen).

I will always put the playlist at the end of the article, so if you have no time, scroll straight to the end and pick it up from there.

Still here? Fantastic, let’s take a look at today’s video. As usual, I am not the first to look at this as a potential ASMR candidate. Some of the comments indicate that others were here before me and obviously at least some of them have found it helpful.

HEINE Direct Ophthalmoscopy — How to perform Ophthalmoscopy

It is a professionally produced video and as we have found with professionally produced videos it has notes to clarify what the contents are about.

At eight minutes twenty-two seconds not the longest that we have seen so far. This has a good narration track (potentially Brian, if so he has a good voice).

After a few minutes I found that the approach was wonderfully relaxing with, thankfully, no background noise at all. As an instructional video it is methodical and well-paced and gratifyingly, no unpleasant surprises.

The channel is HEINE Optotechnik with one hundred and thirty-three videos at the day I am looking at it. There are thirteen playlists so it seems best to identify a playlist which contains this video. Sadly, none of the playlists contain this video. The next technique I usually adopt is to scan all videos to see if the same “patient” or the same medical professional is in any of the others.

In this case there is not a fantastic view of the medical professional and there appears to be only one video with this “patient”.

In this case I tried videos which feature Brian Little as the narrator and came up with three (Including the one reviewed at the beginning of this article).

The voice is as good as before, the approach is still methodical but there is no patient examination in this particular video. There are no ASMR comments with the video, so it does not appear as popular as the last one. However, it lacks distracting background noise and has potential for relaxation, I think.

Familiar voice, similar approach, professionally recorded, there seems little to dislike. No comments from ASMR fans again so this is probably another unpopular one.

This one does include a patient examination (unlike the last one). Therefore it is more in tune with our standard approach, which is to feature medical examination videos.

Examining the rest of HEINE Optotechnik, there seems little else of value ASMR-wise at this moment in time, so I am unlikely to revisit. Still, we have three more videos for the playlist and we do not always find that.

The HEINE Optotechnik playlist on the Procrastination Pen is here:

The overall playlist of videos covered so far on the Procrastination Pen is here:

The videos weeded out because over time they are just not as good as the others is in this archive list:

I keep this in case subscribers to the Procrastination Pen have personal favourites that they want to hear.

The playlist of videos requiring age verification is here:

I can’t be bothered to stop my listening to log on, this interrupts the experience. You may not mind this in which case this list is for you.

I hope that you find the playlists restful and I hope you get plenty of sleep.

Sleeping With ASMR

If you’ve been following the blog for a while, I am hopeful that you have quite a lot of material to make your night hours more restful.

I’m still continuing with the medical examination theme because it appears to have been an effective one. However, I realise that having a playlist of ASMR videos that stays focused on the same subject might be dull, so I am open to new ideas. Indeed, I may explore a few side avenues independently.

If you’re new to the blog well, welcome. The idea is that I keep finding new videos that may have some ASMR effects. So far, predominantly videos which were not created for their ASMR effects but were devised for another purpose. This has mostly been videos covering some variety of medical examination.

These unintentional ASMR videos may produce ASMR effects (assuming you are a person who is lucky enough to feel such effects) or they may just be restful enough to gentle you off to sleep. Either way I hope that they are of use to you and I am open to suggestions if there is other material which you have found effective.

Today we are exploring more material in terms of eye examination. We have covered this area before with Moran Core where we encountered Megan, who had a very good ASMR voice (but got somewhat limited air time).

Today’s video is this one:

HEINE Direct Ophthalmoscopy — How to perform Ophthalmoscopy

This is very different in that it is an out-and-out instruction video. It is distinguished for our purposes in that the narrator has an excellent voice. It is a very calming voice and unlike material we have recently seen it is not afflicted by horrendous background noise.

This strikes me as a great one to keep in the playlist for this blog (if you want to see that playlist scroll to the end of this article).

As is usual for articles in this blog, when I find one video which has potential ASMR effects I take a chance to explore the channel in which it is found.

Here we have the channel HEINE Optotechnik. This channel has one hundred and twelve videos as at the date I’m looking at it. Even with superman fingers I do not think I will be doing a blog post on that many videos.

The standard approach I have adopted in these circumstances is to look for a playlist. I have assumed up to ten videos is enough without you losing the will to live.

There are twenty playlists in this channel with contents ranging from four to seventeen videos.

Our video (above) appears in a playlist entitled How-To: Opthalmology (indeed, it is the last video in that playlist).

The other two are:

HEINE Indirect Ophthalmoscopy — The Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope (Part 1)

This has exactly the same narrator as our first video. Looking at the comments it appears that there are none at all from the ASMR community (well they have not made themselves known in any case). It is possibly not a popular category with them.

I think however that this is a relaxing video – not a Dr James Gill standard but good enough for the Procrastination Pen playlist.

The notes inform us that the narrator is a Mr Brian Little, sadly that is not a rare enough name for me to determine whether he has narrated any other material which might be of interest to us.

The next (and last from this playlist) video is this:

HEINE Indirect Ophthalmoscopy — The Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope (Part 2)

There are over four thousand subscribers, so this is no passing fancy of a channel. It is very likely a channel to which I will return in future blog items.

This is unusual for an item on this blog, in that all of the videos reviewed deserve membership in the Procrastination Pen playlist of ASMR videos.

The playlist for HEINE is here:

The overall playlist of videos covered so far in this blog is here:

The archive playlist (videos which were in the overall playlist but after repeated playings it turns out that was a mistake) is here:

The playlist of items that are great for ASMR (but contain an age verification function) – usually a great way to interrupt your listening in the middle of the night is here:

I hope that you find them restful
