Question

How do I quit nervously picking scabs while I sleep ?

Answer 1

It might seem a bit drastic.... but you could put gauze over them.

Like put a bandaid and thenn cover it in gauze. This could make it more dificult for yourself to pick at them.

It might be something in your subconsious. Maybe its just coming out in you picking at scabs in your sleep. If you think this might be the reason then try talking about what's bothering you.

Answer 2

I tend to nervously pick scabs while awake.  I do it without realizing it.  Now I've given it some thought, I believe I fall into this temptation when there's no band-aid.

I'm puzzled how you can sleep and pick scabs simultaneously.  

Maybe you can always be sure to have a fresh band-aid applied before going to sleep?  Just a suggestion...
