I only like to stim before I go to sleep. And before I got to sleep (While in bed), I sit cris cross apple sauce and I continuously rock back and forth for about 3-30 minutes and while rocking I have to Finger/hand/wrist/arm flap. and sometime while rocking to get a more intense sensation i have to put those mini decoration pillows under my shirt and when extremely over simulated i have to sometime put one or two in my pants.

I don't think this is very common, I think most people stim when they're over or understimulated. A lot of people also stim before sleeping but I haven't really heard of them only doing it at that time.
Everyone is different though, don't get too worried about what everyone else is doing.

I stim when I'm happy, sad, excited, or indifferent.
I always stim. Especially when I'm happy.
Most people I know do too...
