What makes sucking my arm help me sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is probably a: Conditioned response. You can work to replace this behavior with another ritual. 1. Keep a regular bedtime & wakening time (to include weekends). Get up the same time each day, regardless of what time you fell asleep. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine. Relaxing rituals prior to bedtime may include a warm bath or shower, aroma therapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in.
