When I was around 6-7, sometimes while I'm having a bath, I would go underwater and see how long it would take till I suffocate. It was merely out of curiosity. I wasn't trying to end my life or anything like that. As a child I remember I used to be very curious, but perhaps I lacked logic?

    I think doing that particular thing isn't "normal" in the sense that most people wouldn't or haven't done that particular thing, but if you didn't intent to actually drown yourself, it's nothing to worry about. Curios people will do curious things.

    The only problem I see is if you try to do something potentially dangerous in the future and treat it the same way, but by the sound of it, you seemed to have figured it out. Either don't do it or have a plan ahead of time if something goes wrong.

    Think everyone has done something similar seeing how long you can hold your breath under water
