I wish there was more research on motion to fall asleep. I hadn't really taken much notice until recently, but I've found myself 'rocking' myself to sleep sometimes. I lie on my side and sway back and forth. And on my last longhall flight there was turbulence, but it was like heaven for me because it 'rocked' me to sleep. Maybe I need to get a hammock, lol. From my experience and knowledge, it's a way of dealing with anxiety, pain, sadness. Rocking is a mechanism to soothe yourself (I encountered that in my research of dealing with my autism). As we grow older we feel embarrassed to do it, because it seems weird or childish. But if we don't have other ways to cope with it, it's still a good way.

That's the thing though, I'm not anxious or sad when I do it, it's just the motion that relaxes me. I found this on the internet, but other than that, Google hasn't come up with much else:

But in a way, during a day everyone builds up a certain tension at least. Rocking probably helps to get relaxed quicker and sleep.

I sincerely regret the lack of love I gave Fearless back in the day. That album speaks to me now.

Didn’t know that the woman who was a guest at the 1989 World Tour and sang that song about Earl was part of the Dixie Chicks.

My toxic trait is that I like to act like everyone's a mind reader and can simply read my mind and see what's bothering me. And then of course I get mad when they don't and I'm like "oh well I guess you don't care about me like you said you do!!!11!" no, self, no... You gotta speak up if you're upset about something instead of expecting everyone to figure it out.

That gives hope you will make an effort to change it!

In the past month (and for the first time in my life) I have run two red lights (by accident ofc). But the second time I felt I really needed to address why I had done this. It's because I'm on autopilot. Apparently quite a lot of drivers do this and it's not to do with aggressive driving or anything, but your brain has your routes so well mapped out that it just... "zones out" and turns into autopilot. One suggestion was to take different routes so your brain is more aware and alert of what's happening, but I'm not taking different routes every time I want to go somewhere?!? 😫

You assume that the light is green and don’t actually pay attention to the color of the light anymore. It sometimes also happens to me when I have a lot of thoughts in my head. When I snap back into concentrating on driving and what is around me, I wonder how I made it through being so absent. The only way to counter this is really concentrating on the traffic and all the signs and lights around you. And sometimes it helps to keep the radio off. Listening to that or singing along can take away a lot of focus on driving too.

Lol, this is nothing juicy or anything, but my dad keeps this old tin can on the ball of his truck hitch so when it's not hooked to the camper, we don't brush up against it and get grease on our clothes. Well, while we were gone camping, we had to go to a grocery store and as we were making a turn, I heard this weird noise and looked out the mirror to see the can flying off. Instead of being like "oh, hey, your can flew off if you want to pull over and get it" I kept quiet but it screamed in my head when my dad mentioned where it could be a few times. IDK IT WAS GOING TO EAT ME ALIVE IF I DIDN'T GET IT OFF MY CHEST.
