Strange habits you have

Rotating a mouse pad orientation 90 degrees from "landscape" to "portrait".

Not sure why, but I'm always running out of room up-down rather than left-right, so I turn it wherever I need a mouse for long periods of time.

I find weird sleep habits kind of interesting, so I guess it's fitting that I have a few of them.

-I can fall asleep with the light on, but when it happens, it's usually an accident.
-I do like complete darkness, though, so I keep a towel draped over my alarm clock. (It's the only alarm I could find that's loud enough, but it's also very bright, even at minimum brightness.)
-I have two digital clocks, the one mentioned above, and a smaller, dimmer one that I can use to see the time. Both are always set on weekdays.
-I usually wear just boxer briefs to sleep, if anything. I've slept shirtless since I was about 12 or 13.
-When it's very quiet or completely silent, my ears start ringing, so I have a noisemaker.

Another one to add, I've realized that I can sleep fully clothed or with covers/blankets, but not very well with both (I find it feels too claustrophobic). I guess that ties a few of the above points together.

Can't remember if I've mentioned this.  I once had a co-worker who was really excited to get a set of flannel sheets for the bed one Christmas.  But when she got into bed wearing her velvet nightgown, she found that the two fabrics were like Velcro together, and all the covers would come with her whenever she rolled over.

That basically summarizes it. Though I've never experienced flannel/velvet, layers interacting in general does not lend itself well to comfort or movement during sleep.
