Magic does this as well...LOL She licks her paws at night until she puts herself to sleep almost everynight just by licking her front paws. We have tried different things to stop her but nothing helps so we just let her do b/c it works for her!   
Sailor tends to the lick the carpet more at night than during the day...this has just started happening (it could be b/c we put her on a diet)!!! LOL
