The skeptic movement is a collective endeavor that promotes the respect for knowledge and truth, methodological naturalism, science, reason, critical thinking, and consumer protection, and aims to distinguish legitimate science from pseudoscience, uphold ideological freedom, understand cognitive biases, address specific flawed or pseudoscientific claims, maintain cultural memory of past pseudosciences and scams, and improve science communication and journalism.

My friend Jen Gilbert, Knowledge Exchanger Manager at The University of Sheffield, tells me she uses them at night: “I don't get the massive 'braingasm' rush people talk about or anything out of the ordinary, but I do drift off easily with them on.”

Right, because those people have ASMR. Not everybody's brain is wired like that.
