do you do any weird things trying to fall asleep(weird to other people)

*I can only sleep on my stomach, with my face facing left.

*As for getting to sleep, counting backwards from 100 almost always works to some degree.

Oh! I forgot about the most obvious thing! I still sleep with a teddy bear lol, even though I'm 22. He's awesome. I actually can't get to sleep without him.

as do i. i don't foresee giving up my stuffed animals any time in the near future. my husband has a blanket that he snuggles with.
 
i have 5 or 6 golf courses that i know every hole like the back of my hand. i visualize playing each hole and every shot until i fall asleep. i usually fall asleep around hole 10.

Awww :)
I have this one bear that I got when I was born, so I have been sleeping with him ever since. When I was about 5, my parents got me another bear (well the same bear, but a new one) in hopes that I would stop sleeping with the old one as he was getting very worn. I didn't switch to the "new" bear until I was 20. Ummm he's falling apart now lol.

Glad I'm not the only one :) I don't see it ending anytime soon. Once I went to a hotel without my bears, and I had to hold one of the pillows like I hold my bear so that I could get to sleep. lol.
 
I sleep on my stomach which a lot of people tell me is weird. I have tried to fall asleep on my back but I can't for the life of me.
I sometimes suck my thumb during my sleep if I'm stressed. (I'm 22)
I do this weird thing with my feet...I rub them together or against the sheets to fall asleep. Haha. Works most of the time.
 
I sleep on my stomach 99% of the time as well, but that's not that weird imo.

what is weird, though, is how the middle three toes of my right foot kind of twitch down when I'm really tired lol, I can always tell I'm about to sleep when I'm chillen and that starts to happen.

however, I toss and turn in probably close to the same pattern every night, mostly starting on my back to pray/ meditate then to my side, it's all downhill from there :)

Same, except I tend to face my right side and use my left arm as my only pillow. Straight homeless style, lol. Though recently I've found that if I get high and/or drunk enough I can pass out laying on my back or sitting upright in a chair or something.


Also, it's the weirdest thing and I've actually never spoken of it before but my thoughts tend to get really violent while I'm trying to fall asleep. Not like trying to hurt people I'm close with or plots or anything, just random acts of violence flashing in my mind that for some reason make it easier to quiet the rest of my thoughts and fall asleep. Even weirder, my dreams aren't violent nor am I in my everyday life. I used to be an aggressive kid, but I've only been in a few fights and I don't really understand why I've had the tendency to focus on ridiculously violent hypothetical scenes as I'm trying to fall asleep.
 
I had insomnia the other night so i went outside and slept on the balcony couch with my blanket. i slept like a baby after that....
 
Well they say you're never suppose to really do anything in bed besides have sex and sleep. So I think about having sex. ^_^ WORKS EVERY TIME!

Same. Don't know where it came from but it helps me sleep. Also I used to sleep on my stomach until I had my boobs done and then I wasn't allowed on my stomach for like 4 months and got used to sleeping on my back. Now I can't seem to get back to tummy sleeping even though its years later. wtf?
 
i did some searching and apparantly alot of people rock themselves asleep just like me ....there was a girl on celebrity rehab with dr drew that had a weird habit of rolling back and fourth to fall asleep .
 
I used to listen to all my favourite up tempo music and headbang like fuck till the early morning until I passed out almost every night. Because I was sleep deprived and felt like my body was begging for sleep I'd lay there with my headphones on and my eyes rolling and vibing feeling a little too good for the state I was in.

Yeah.. :\


I always put socks on before I get into bed. Then slide them off my feet as soon as I'm in bed and sleep in the foetal position always.
