Serious: How do I stop giving myself a 'hickey'?

When I sleep at night, I rest my head on my arm, like a pillow. My R wrist is near my mouth. During sleep I suck on my wrist. I have given myself a 'hickey' on my wrist. It is black and blue and it hurts. I just tried putting a Band-Aid on my wrist, above the 'hickey'. I don't want to keep on doing that, I might end up trying to eat the band aid, perhaps choke on it. Any ideas aside from putting hot sauce on it - (it might get in to my eye).

    i know this is going to sound stupid, but it should work. try a pacifier. you can still sleep in your desired position, and if in your sleep you have a desire to suck, you have the pacifier. or, if your health care insurance covers it, go to a dentist and request a mold for a mouth guard. you put it in, close your mouth around it and it makes biting and sucking near to impossible. good luck.

    Lmao...sorry to laugh, but that's funny. Try putting your arm under your pillow instead. you'll still be able to sleep but without the temptation of sucking your arm.

    Another alternative is to find a partner to give you a hickey instead. Much more fun that way!

    Take care!

    Lay on your back and try to fall asleep, or use a pillow instead of your arm . Hickeys can cause blood clots so this could be dangerous. Good luck

    Yikes....sorry. Cut the end off a sock and wear it on your wrist?
