Today we're taking on something Courtney has been after us to talk about for years - ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). From chasing the elusive 'brain tingles' to pondering its potential as the ultimate sleep aid for a restless generation, we're exploring how (or if) GenX engages with ASMR. Between uses by AARP, Super Bowl ads and even sports teams, find out if there's a quiet(er) side to midlife or if ASMR just ain't for us.
