Rhianna hears that watching ASMR videos on YouTube can help with insomnia.  She conducts a sleep study on 60 people who have difficulty sleeping by asking a simple random sample of 30 participants to watch at least 20 minutes of ASMR videos prior to sleeping and the remaining 30 participants to attempt to sleep without watching any videos.  During the study, the subjects are connected to an EEG machine, which is used to measure brain activity.  Rhianna analyzes the EEG results and concludes that those who watched the ASMR videos experienced a better quality of sleep than those who did not.
