Every nite when I go to sleep,even take a nap, I have to get my black bandana and wrap it a certain way around my right hand and then I rub the bandana between my thumb and pointer finger till I fall asleep. If I wake up to use the bathroom ect I repeat the bandana placement on my hand and rub till I fall asleep again. I have been doing this for several years but it didn't start in my infant or younger years so I was wondering if this is normal or what it means ect.... I have to have the bandana placed correctly and will redo it till it feels right also... My boyfriend laughs and said he's never known or hear of this behavior... Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!

    Sounds like an OCD thing. Ask a medical professional/ therapist or something.

    I have known two people that had simalar rituals before going to sleep. So your not the only one, but yes it is rare. I see no harm in it or any reason to discontinue something that works so well to relax you into a deep sleep. Everyone should be so blessed to only have such a mild quark!

    I think it is just a sleeping ritual or something. Kind of like a dog circling it's bedding before it goes to sleep.
