We move even during menstruation

So here's a list of catchy tunes that will hopefully give you the energy and motivation to get your rear end moving.

We fall asleep like a baby
Like some women, you may experience insomnia during your period. You are hot, then cold, and still hot, then hungry, then stomach ache… In short, sleep does not come!
ASMR, you know? Often compared to a brain orgasm, this very pleasant sensation located in the skull and along the spine (like a soft, relaxing tingling) is caused by sensory stimulation, most often auditory. This can be natural noises like the sound of rain or the sea, but also artificial noises like those of scissors or the rustling of paper. Results ? We feel very relaxed and we fall asleep like a baby.
Some people are unable to feel ASMR while others are almost addicted as the sensations felt are so soft… Science has not yet succeeded in determining the reason for this difference in sensitivity. In any case, it's worth trying to be sure not to miss an effective solution to relax. You can find audio tracks on all music players worthy of the name (Deezer, Spotify, Soundcloud, etc.) or videos on Youtube.
To your headphones!
