Is it normal to use an odd method of getting to sleep?

Every night in bed to get to sleep I imagine my bed is a boat drifting out to sea. As a always have a fan on, it sounds like the ocean air too. It's relaxing and fun, and makes me fall asleep easily.

IIN?

    I think it shows that you have an imaginative mind :) BTW I've read of the same thing before in a book called the Poetics of Space

    Hell yeah!! Some doctors suggest stuff like this to sleep, things like imagine you're falling asleep on a cloud, it's just relaxation! It's a healthy mind if you ask me.

    Perfectly normal. Some people have certain ways of getting to sleep~!

    I'm not sure if this is relevant but I use this app called fluid to get to sleep and it has waves and calming sounds so you can get in a mire boaty mood ;)

    Nothing wrong with that.

    Sometimes when I cannot sleep, I listen to my ipod... usually "Winds over the world" or a meditation speech by Edgar Cayce's grandson...

    For the former, I just close my eyes and let my mind form whatever images it wants to. For the latter, I try to relax my breathing as dictated in the speech.

    In either case however I'm usually asleep in 15 minutes.

  • Of course it's normal, it's relaxing to imagine your bed is drifting peacefully through the ocean or space. It's not childish or anything it's fine.

  • My dad used to do that when he was little! I was obsessed with Little House On the Prairie, so I always pretended I was in a covered wagon! :L

  • Lol jerk off has the opposite effect for me. I just try to clear my mind and when I do manage to do that, sleep comes even if it can take hours sometimes.

    I always have to have my fan on. Even if it's pointed away from me I need the noise of it to sleep!

    That's sounds really fun, haha. I'd probably get too into it and I wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

    I'm gonna say it's normal. We all have our own methods of getting to sleep.
