Similar here, I need some sort of sound to help me fall asleep. Usually it's a radio or fan. If it's too loud though, I can't fall asleep. And the volume I need to fall asleep changes depending on the mood I'm in when trying to go to bed.

I tend to use heavy metal/hard rock music to relax, while I use classic rock, softer rock, and sometimes even classical music to get myself pumped up.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I sleep with a fan on, TV volume on "4" and my sleep timer on 115 (only after going up to 120 then going back down to 115....wtf).

I check my phone alarm repeatedly, and often say "AM" or "PM" out loud to make sure I set it right.

After I lock the door to my car, I'll always pull the door too just to make sure.

I cut my spaghetti with a knife and fork before eating.

There are more than a few others I do, I'm sure.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I generally set 4 alarms before I go to bed, all within about 5 minutes of eachother. I'll check them a couple times before I go to bed. If I really need to wake up or it's a different time than I usually wake up, I'll set 6 or 7. I'm paranoid about sleeping through all of them.

I hit the lock button for my car a bunch of times just do make sure it's locked.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I talk in my sleep all the time. And apparently I curse like a sailor when doing so.

I also sleep walk. My most recent episode of this was me getting out of bed and switching the placement of a box of animal crackers and my contact solution.

I do this as well. Has to be on a 5 or 0. I hate watching television with someone who leaves the volume on 17, I actually tell them to turn it up to 20 or down to 15.

I try to avoid cracks when walking on sidewalks. Unless I'm talking to someone, I always make sure I don't step on cracks. Weird, I know.

Yeah it started with me waking up much earlier than my alarm clock, and then I think I forgot to set it one day and realized it was unnecessary.

Its to the point where I can snooze button myself.

I sleep walk too.


I've gotten out of my bed, gone downstairs, gone into my parents bathroom, and started a bath. It had gotten half full before I woke up and stopped it.

Re: Quirky things you do...

When it comes to numbers for me, I only like numbers divisible by 5. Say I'm playing a game and i have 16 of whatever in my inventory, I'd always buy 4, 9, etc more just make it a number divisible by 5.

I also often like making sure square objects are aligned and neat with each other, and the surface they're resting on, just square/rectangular objects though, everything else can be a damn mess and it won't bug me.
