Is it normal that i still suck my finger when i go to sleep?

I'm 26 years old and still can't fight the need to suck my finger when I go to sleep. I know it's capably weird but I have too many sleep problems as is to stop. I thought that I would stop once I was in a serious relationship. When I confessed that I do this to my live in boyfriend he was surprisingly ok with it. Is there any other adults out there who just can't kick this childish habit? I think it's a comfort thing for me.

    @littlemissaddy It's the index finger for me too, which is weird because with most people it's their thumb. I've decided to keep doing it no matter how strange it is. It's never effected my teeth or my mouth, and sleeping with out it is next to impossible. My boyfriend seems fine with it, but I usually cover my mouth with the blanket because I'm aware that it's just weird to be doing this at my age. People do much stranger things though.

    I suck my index finger, I only do it to get to sleep or when I am feeling tired (for some really odd reason I also twiddle with my hair aswell I think it because it's soft) when I was a baby I never had a dummy I've always sucked my finger I know that you are in a relationship and he may think it's extremely weird but you could used a dummy for a little while so you do not want to suck your finger then get rid of the dummy so you won't have anything to suck also you could grow you finger nail really long so it would hurt when you put it in your mouth...
    Please tell me what you think...
    Good luck

  • It's normal for thumb-suckers. Don't worry about it.

    Sucking on your thumb... While 26... Well, i overheard a woman who said that if you do that, you are using all off your senses... Thus you get more sleepy!
    Why do babies do it? Now you know ;)

    In my opinion... normal if it helps you ;p

    It will over time ruin your teeth and make the roof of your mouth concave. You really need to stop this bad habit. There are products you can by that you put on your fingers that make them taste horribly bitter. Try it out.
