The mind at night: replays, worst-case thinking and nightmares, sentence 5

Most of these tricks are normal and fade on their own; but if a rule like "touch the switch five times or Mum gets hurt" keeps growing and taking time, it is a sign to tell a grown-up, because there is real help.

Who acts: Most, rule, grown real help · What happens: be, fade, touch, hurt, keep, grow · To what, where: own, switch, Mum, sign, grown real help · Speech: someone speaks here
