How do I get these odd scratches? (read more)

could be that your skin is dry and it is breaking the skin apart.

if you mean little cuts in the skin, well, i really have no idea, i get them on my hands randomly and still have no idea how they happen….

My mom thinks I scratch myself while sleeping and leave scratches like this…it’s weird.

do you happen to sleep with any rings on you fingers or sharp bracelets/watches?, because that happens to me a lot. i wake up with random cuts/scratches and i have no idea how i got them, like one time i had a scratch under my eye and i realized i fell asleep with my ring on and i move around a lot, so it probably scratched me a little, and i had some on my leg because i sleep curled up in a ball with my arms wrapped around the back of my legs and i guess i moved my hand and got cut by my ring. or maybe ur just one of those people who scratch themselves in there sleep. just an idea :)

It might be a condition called dermatographism. See the source below for plenty of information and pictures of this skin problem. I am a sufferer.

I know I toss and turn a lot, but I don’t war anything other then my pjs to bed. I sleep with soft sheets and a comfort, though I never get scratches often, I know one time I wore a watch and found indents on my write :o One thing that also is a bother, I for some reason get a scratch on my eye lid, hurts when I try to apply eye shadow and especially when I sweat. lol I dunnoh how I get that either.
