when i am laying in bed, i have this wierd tendency to rub my feet together for like 5-10 minutes straight. it helps me relax and sooths me. does anyone else do this?
I think it's because your feet have have lots of nerve endings. When you rub them, you stimulate those nerves. Your basically giving yourself a massage. That's why it feels relaxing.
I thought I was the only one that did this. It always happens when I'm dozing off.
I do that too.. my mom always tells me why r u doing this.. The thing is I don't know why.. I usually do it when I want to sleep..
lol I'm even doing it now
I heard a long time ago that we do this because when we were in our mothers womb our feet were wrapped around the other in a similar way and that is why we continue to rub feet against the other and find it comforting.
I loved so much finding this and this site that I had to create an account.
I do that too, specially when I'm tired and trying to get to sleep.
Omg me too I created this account now just because I wanted to reply cause I'm glad to hear a lot more people doing the same and askn the same question... I do the same thing.when I am relaxed I rub my feel together... It relaxes even more, I think because I'm on my feet a lot like 16-18hours a day so off top feels good now but before when I was young I did it too and rub my stummy but now I rarely rub my stummy but still do my feet alot
Well, I think you're just fine. My son used to pick fuzz off his blanket and tickle his nose until he went to sleep. Your deal sounds better.
my sisters ex boyfriend used to do that, not only when he was sleeping [i only know cause she told me!!LOL] but when he was sitting or watching tv.
I thought it was because he was mentally slow though.
guess i was wrong haha
My ex flatmate Gary does this constantly whilst wearing the same thick pair of socks whilst reclined in Rimcheese's mum's Jason watching TV. It's about as normal as carry stool samples on international flights; so not all all.

I have done this ever since I can remember. I cannot wear socks to bed because I can't feel my feet when I rub them together, it's like a connection thing, with myself, like to feel my own skin to skin contact. I'm not sure lol but I love doing it and doubt it will ever stop
I think sleeping with your sister is more of a concern than why you rub your feet together....
i rub my feet even after i fall asleep. it drives my sis crazy so she tapes my feet together while i sleep so that i stop
my 10 and 6 year old neighbors[sisters] do this when they are upset or crying. they either rub their feet against the other, or against the carpet[if they are laying down].
