A woman has gone viral on TikTok after revealing the bizarre reason she weaves McDonald’s napkins between her toes to help her sleep at night.

Taylor, 19, a nursing assistant from the US, recently shared on TikTok how she puts the napkins between her toes, leaving people with mixed opinions.

The 19-year-old posted a video of the napkins with the caption: “The McDonald's napkins I weave between my toes so I can sleep at night."

The unusual clip has racked up a huge 7 million views and has more than 720,000 likes.

“For several months, beginning in about November 2022, I suddenly started feeling the urge to find some sort of pressure I could apply in between my toes every night as I tried to fall asleep," Taylor told NeedToKnow.online.

“For a while, forcing my big toes in between other toes until I fell asleep worked.

“But after about two months, a small lesion appeared in between one of my toes that seemed to be the result of me pushing too hard with my toes.

“That was when I realised I really needed a better solution.

“My first idea was to use the foam toe separators used for drying painted toenails, but these didn’t work well for me.

“One night, I planned on looking for toe socks, but I didn’t have time to go out and get any.

“The next night, as a temporary solution, I had the idea to fold up the McDonald’s napkins I had on my bedside table and use those between my toes until I could find toe socks.

“After probably two nights of wearing the McDonald’s napkins between my toes to sleep at night, I realised just how absurd it was.

“To me, it was actually somewhat hilarious, so I decided to make a video to share it.”

Many viewers were left somewhat shocked by Taylor’s video.

One person said: “I’m not usually shocked… my jaw dropped.”

“I wasn’t expecting this,” added someone else.

One person wrote: “This is strange but also seems like it would be a pleasant sensation.”

However, some people found Taylor’s announcement relatable.

“Why do I understand this,” one person said.

Someone else wrote: “Thought I was the only one.”

“I prefer cables. Like, the one for my iPhone or laptop. Feels nice.” someone else revealed.

Taylor has revealed that the need to have something between her toes is to do with her mental health, and as a result, has since found a better solution to help her sleep.

However, she does have a stack of McDonald’s napkins as a spare just in case.

She continued: “I’ve built up months’ worth of napkins from going to McDonald’s an embarrassingly high amount when I am working.

“I likely won’t need to get more as I’ve started sleeping with foot alignment socks.

“I have been sleeping with those since, and they seem to be doing the trick.

“After posting the video a lot of the commenters were confused and or/laughing at it.

“But there are also, surprisingly, a lot that relate to wanting something between their toes and were wanting to know more about why I did this in the first place.”
