Implement Calmind in your circadian rhythm
Your circadian rhythm is a 24-hour internal clock that is running in the background of your brain, cycling between sleepiness and alertness at regular intervals. Use your maximum energy potential with a little help of Calmind!
Try Calmind NowThis is your brain on binaural beats

At the root of all our thoughts, emotions and behaviours is the communication between neurons within our brains. There are 5 brain waves, or electric patterns, that each person has.
Binaural beats, in short, stream a tone with a slightly different frequency into your left and right ear — say, 256 hertz (Hz) in one and 250 Hz in the other — they travel separately to your inferior colliculus, the part of your brain that gathers auditory input.
There, the tones “squelch” together into a so-called “beat” at a perceived, new frequency. (In this case, it would be 6 Hz.)
6Hz Binaural beat

What is ASMR and how it affects you
Have you ever felt a certain tingling, relaxing sensation when someone brushed into your arm, or you listened to a particularly good song?
If so, you have experienced ASMR.
The Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response is a physical tingling sensation that begins in your scalp and moves down through the spine to the shoulders.
It is often triggered by an audible stimuli, such as whispering or scratching, though it can also be triggered through physical touch.

Different networks of the brain such as touch, concentration, hearing, and vision activate atypically, resulting in a blend of senses similar to synesthesia

Endorphins are released from the pineal gland, causing feelings of euphoria and a tingling sensation.

Oxytocin is released from the pituitary gland, causing relaxation and increased endorphin receptor-sensitivity.
Also, Serotonin is released from the pituitary gland, elevating mood and inducing sleep.
Sounds good to you, right?
Could it be even better?
Of course.
Binaural beats + ASMR= B~ASMR
Studies results shown that combination of binaural beats and ASMR could be used for relieving negative emotions and increasing positive emotions for users.
Their findings suggest that this could provide an effective way of improving the quality of sleep, too.
