If sleep anxiety is keeping you awake tonight, this soft spoken ASMR video is designed to help your mind and body settle.
I’m a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, and in this video I combine evidence-based psychological techniques with soft spoken ASMR to gently calm the fear response that can build at night — the racing thoughts, the checking, the sense that sleep won’t come.
This isn’t about forcing sleep.
It’s about helping your nervous system feel safe enough to allow it.
What this video is for:
• Sleep anxiety and fear of not sleeping
• Racing thoughts and mental “checking”
• Feeling exhausted but unable to switch off
• Night-time overthinking and heightened alertness
What to expect:
• Soft spoken ASMR throughout
• A gradual psychological shift away from the fear loop
• Nervous system calming techniques grounded in clinical practice
• A gentle transition into sleep, followed by extended ocean sounds
This video is part of a wider set of clinically-informed ASMR sleep tools designed to support different experiences of insomnia and anxiety.

If you’re here tonight, you’re not alone in this.
Even listening is a step towards settling.
