Odd little habits anyone?

Lemonade. I simply have to know that there is a glass of lemonade on my bedside cabinet before I can relax and go to sleep. I very rarely touch it but I need to know it is there. My DH keeps threatening to pour the untouched glasses back into the bottle for the next night !

Want to bet butty

glass! Your're too young for BRISTLES. [GRIN]

My habit as I go to bed is to get my 10x magnification mirror and check to see if that bristle has appeared again, I cant get into bed until I have looked

DH has a cough sweet to suck as he goes to sleep too - always makes him cough. Is that what they are supposed to do? No worries about ruining his teeth as they are safely in a glass of steredent, smiling at me all night.

Tall glass of water for me. It's usually empty in the morning but I rarely remember drinking it!

The only thing I suck at night is my thumb!! Sixty four and still doing it, can't sleep without it. I blame my Mother as she used to nag me so much about it. My OH just laughs. Do feel a bit of a plonker when in hospital though.....

I have to confess to being a bedtime sucker too. In my case it's a Fisherman's Friend - the original strong ones - and I have another on my bedside table in case I need one in the night!

I have a red metal bottle of water that goes to bed with me. I HAVE to have it and sip from it during the night. It even goes on holiday with me.

Water is perfectly normal. I have a glass on my bedside table as well as the Galaxy. DH on the other hand has to have the makings of three cups of coffee (instant) plus a kettle by his bedside. Now that, to me, is odd!

I have a third litre bottle of water full ready for when I go to sleep, and it is usually empty when I fully wake up. I sip it throughout the night. I like to have it and I know it's ok. No problem.

No - I'm the same, petallus!

Yes, I do worry about my teeth. I give them a good clean, get into bed and ..... suck a sweet, all the while thinking 'this isn't doing my teeth any good'. I try to keep the sweet in the middle of my mouth away from my teeth.

I sound even odder now.

I have a couple of sips of water from a half litre bottle that I always keep by the bedside. I keep seven of them actually. They get washed and refilled.

I suppose it is a rather odd habit. It started when I was in Thailand and all drinking water was bottled. And then, when our water in Argyll kept getting cut off, I increased the number of bottles. Now the seven of them sit in a neat row and are used in rotation.

I keep a small bar of Galaxy on my bedside table. If I wake in the night I usually have a little piece. I do worry about my teeth, though...

Don't you worry about the sugar and your teeth if it's every night?

Thanks for the warning Tegan

I'm usually sitting up reading Kindle or on my side if I'm lying down. I bet you sleep on your back.

You've got me worried now, because I popped a strepsil into my mouth one night when I had a sore throat and, being half asleep it [being sweet shaped and solid] all but slipped down my throat. So, just be careful [sorry; nag nag]. It really scared me.
