I can't sleep and came across this. Please try it.

So, lift your right foot up while sitting/lying down and make clockwise circles.

At the same time draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand.

Your foot has changed direction automatically.

No it hasn’t

Culldesack · 01/09/2022 00:45

Oh bloody hell! How strange. I also started drawing the 6 backwards !

LocalHobo · 01/09/2022 00:46

Oh yes! How strange.

Culldesack · 01/09/2022 00:47

Reminds me of the stomach rubbing, head patting. Can never do that one either.

Sorcery. Also, this will be my new party trick. Ta!

Are you sure you know what clockwise is?

Josette77 · 01/09/2022 01:18

Mine didn't cbange either.

My son's didn't but turns out he was doing it anti-clockwise 🤣

HebeSunshine · 01/09/2022 01:21

It does, it changes direction 😆

Poppins2016 · 01/09/2022 01:23

Mine changed automatically when I was doing it at a decent speed. If I slow down and concentrate I can manage to keep going in opposite directions!

Dibbydoos · 01/09/2022 01:26

😝 I can't sleep, that made me laugh.

Any tips on getting some shots eye???

Assuming you mean shut eye...

Step 1: remove electronic devices/get off MN

Step 2: shut eyes...

(Well, you did ask... 😁😇😴)

m00rfarm · 01/09/2022 01:57

I can do it easily at normal speed.

HarrietSchulenberg · 01/09/2022 02:02

Mine did!
Now, splay your toes. Did your fingers splay too? It's a common complementary reaction, apparently.

WanderingFruitWonderer · 01/09/2022 05:30

Oh my word! Yes, I've tried it a few times now, and it changes every time! That's wild!

eldora · 01/09/2022 05:35

I couldn’t draw the 6!

My fingers didn’t splay when I splayed my toes though.

Sparklfairy · 01/09/2022 06:22

I'm left handed so automatically drew the 6 with my left hand and it worked fine. When I used my right hand there was some serious conflict going on, hand and brain fighting each other Grin

PremiumPiglet · 01/09/2022 08:13

Depends where you start your 6
