I rock myself to sleep every night.

actually thats pretty normal alot of your body functions are determened by your equilibreum and the rocking motion has a soothing effect on our brains most likely you can talk to a doctor or therapist about having trouble sleeping and they could offer some alternatives that are more comfortable and convenient but for the most part totally normal.

Just like sickenigma_92 said. its to do with your equilibreum. This is why babies have those cribs/cots that rock. It helps them sleep. Don't get me wrong. I'm not calling you a baby :).

i rock back and forth and up and down (if that makes sence.).. i also sometimes like to swish my legs across the bed, like a windshield wiper.

I did this as a kid, and do it sometimes when I have insomnia. Put my feet against the wall and push with them to rock myself to sleep. Not sure why, but it feels good.

i've never done that, might try it tho, usually i go to sleep best just hugging pillows and soft stuff.

I had a friend who had to bang his head into a pillow, rhythmically. He called it "bonking," and couldn't sleep without doing it. Sleeping over sucked, until he finally fell asleep.

He grew out of it in his twenties.
