Is it normal i recently started doing this before going to sleep?

A few months ago I started doing something weird: whenever I’m about to go to sleep, As I’m laying down I move my legs up and down, left and right. I don’t know why I started doing this, but it’s become sort of a habit. Whenever it happens I know I’m about to go to sleep.

    I think it's a form of self soothing.

    maybe restless legs syndrome. yeah, it is an actual disorder. Not sure if it's a problem but it does happen.

      Restless legs syndrome is involuntary: it sounds as if OP is doing this deliberately

          OK, if it's involuntary and it's a problem for you, it's likely you do have restless leg syndrome, for which there is treatment available.

            It’s not really a problem, and I’m not sure why I made myself anonymous.

    Sounds like an issue.

    I try to avoid as many ritualistic or quirky things as possible. As you move through life they all add up and pretty soon you'll be a weirdo who can't sleep.
