Is it normal i rub cloth under nails?

I really thought this was my own little thing I did and no one else did it. As long as I can remember I have rubbed a stiff edge of fabric under my fingernails. Its not satisfying until it hurts a little. When I lay in bed I fold the sheet between my toes and rb back and forth. Its so relaxing to me. I have done both as long as I can remember. As far as I know no one notices I do it. Its amazing to me so many people do the same thing. Lately I seem to have to do it all the time. I don't know if maybe its a stress reliever but I think maybe it is.

    Older sister has a habit of raising her shirt to just above her ribs, and traversing/scratching her long nails up and down her tummy..Says it relaxes her.

    I do this too, infact I was pointed in the direction of this site to help find the answer to what this is. I literally need to rub the sheet between my fingers and or my toes to relax or fall asleep, I've done it for well since I can remember, im trying to find a name or anything I can on this, but im assuming since I'm not the only one who does this, it must be normal or atleast not unheard of :D

    I like to rub harder things under my nails, tbh, but I don't do it often.
