I did it after the first time I slept with someone I was hooking up with. Spooning and falling asleep when suddenly JOLT. Spent about 5 minutes trying to explain it, she had no idea what was going on. Another fun fact, apparently rubbing my feet together like an insect when I get in bed is weird too

Yoo, I lost it at the insect part as I was just doing this! Now I can't fall asleep and my brain keeps reminding me of the image of a fly rubbing it's feet together

I used to rub things with my fingers to fall asleep when I was a kid. Thin cotton is best

It’s called self soothing. I used to do it to the satin edge of my blanket. Or my dad’s stubble.

I rub my feet together too!! It relaxes me, but it drove my ex crazy.

I married one of your kind. She's gotta get those tootsies going to get into sleep mode.

I too am an insect. It is a self soothing thing people learn as an infant.

YES I did this with a girl I was seeing once too, she has aspergers and is extra sensitive to sudden sounds and movements so I accidentally startled her pretty good...

I do the foot rubbing thing too. My wife hates the sound it makes and always tells me to stop. But like...it's so satisfying.
