Sensory Compensation and Psychological Regulation: The Intervention Effects and Limitations of ASMR on Insomnia Patients

ASMR是一种通过触发听觉和触觉刺激来诱发身体和大脑愉悦感的现象，近年来被失眠群体广泛用作自我调节工具。本研究旨在探讨失眠群体对ASMR音/视频的使用情况及使用效果。我们对ASMR音/视频使用者进行了问卷调查与访谈，结果显示ASMR视频对失眠患者具有显著的放松和安抚作用，其沉浸式体验可暂时替代现实压力源，构建“心理避难所”为失眠患者提供帮助，但也存在一些问题。本研究为理解感官媒介在睡眠障碍中的“双刃剑”效应提供了实证依据，对数字时代非药物干预策略的设计具有启示。ASMR, a phenomenon that induces physical and cerebral pleasure through auditory and tactile triggers, has been widely adopted by insomnia communities as a self-regulation tool in recent years. This study investigates the usage patterns and effectiveness of ASMR audio/video among individuals with insomnia. Through questionnaires and interviews with ASMR users, the results demonstrate that ASMR videos significantly promote relaxation and emotional soothing for insomnia patients. Their immersive experience temporarily replaces real-world stressors, constructing a “psychological refuge” to aid sufferers. However, certain limitations persist. This research provides empirical evidence for understanding the “double-edged” effects of sensory media in sleep disorders and offers insights for designing non-pharmacological intervention strategies in the digital era.
