I have lots of sleep quirks, apparently. I can't fall asleep if my legs are touching, which is weird because I like to sleep on my side. I put a pillow or the blankets between them so they don't touch.
I sleep with a body pillow, throw my leg over it like it's a person. I can't stand my knees touching when I sleep, and I'm a side sleeper too. Plus the pain on my lower back... the body pillow is more for straightening my lower spine.
I sleep with a body pillow too....1) It helps alleviate my lower back pain sometimes, and 2) it simulates human contact...Its the only way I can sleep0 -

The same reasons I do it. So I'm not crazy... or maybe we're just crazy together

Don't worry, I do this, too. That or I "crack" my ankles until I can fall asleep.1 -

Lucid dreaming. Cool.0 -

I snort when I laugh really hard.0

Whenever I lose or misplace something I always get this voice in my head telling me exactly where to look. Even if the item or pet is in an odd location that makes no sense, I always go right to it.0

I have to think about which hand is my left vs right for longer than I should.1

I wear Chuck Taylors pretty much exclusively. I have about a dozen pairs, all different colors, and I often match them to the color of my shirt. I even have a pair of brown leather Chucks for when I have to look all professional and *kitten* that don't look too out of place when worn with khakis.0

Dream me is a savage. I have betrayed most friends and family members in my dreams and have often left them for dead without a second thought. I have also laughed myself awake and woke up crying from some dream I had. If you talk to me in my sleep I will also most likely answer you, but it probably won't make sense. At one point, I was reading and responding to texts in my sleep (or maybe I was waking up and doing it but I would have no recollection of it the next day) so I moved my phone to where I couldn't reach it in my sleep.
I often mumble to myself. I'm highly forgetful so it happens a lot in the grocery store. Usually I'm mumbling the items I already have in my cart to myself or the items I need to get. I find talking aloud helps with remembering things. Fellow shoppers probably think I'm insane.
Most of the time I ride around in the car in silence. I don't like background noise for the most part and I find silence soothing. Oddly enough, I can't sleep if it's completely quiet. Both of these things I think are a function of growing up in a loud house with a lot of people where there was always noise.
I am severely directionally challenged. My instincts are always wrong when it comes to what direction I should go in whether I'm looking for a street or in the wilderness or at the mall looking for a certain store. I've found if I actually go the exact opposite direction of my first instinct that is the right direction.
I have poor vision that wasn't caught (or didn't develop) until I was a teenager. It took me years to start finally wearing my glasses all the time because when I would wear them I felt the world was "too sharp" and I preferred it blurry.1 -
I keep a record of how many hours and how many miles I drive, and have been doing this ever since I got my learner's permit (I have been driving on my own for a little over 4 years now).0

I count stairs in my head as I go up or down them, even if I know how many are there. We live in an apartment on the 2nd floor and there's exactly 20 stairs. I know this. Yet, every time I walk up or down the stairs, in my head I'm counting...1

I have weird quirks with food. If things I am eating are multi colored I have to eat them in a certain way. Ex: Skittles- have to be sorted out by color, green go in the trash because they are *kitten* gross. Orange and yellow get eaten together. If there are 3 orange and 2 yellow I eat the extra orange first. Purple and red get eaten together too, but if there are extra red I save those for last because they are the best.
I do the same thing with skittles. I'll empty the whole bag, sort by color, then eat all of one color before moving on to the next.1
