Is this normal when muscles twitches all over my body?

Why does my body twitch when I am resting?

  • I have always had twitches in my sleep, but lately I have been getting all over body twitches when i'm relaxing watching TV or about to go to sleep. Some of them are full body twitches where my entire body will jerk. It scares me and last night I just could not sleep at all. Every time I was about to fall asleep I would jerk/twitch and wake myself up? Anyone know what this could be caused by? Its not in one specific part of my body, i can have them in my arms, legs, torso, feet, muscles.

  • Answer:

    Honey, it sounds like you may have a mild case of 'Tourettes Syndrome' i'd suggest getting it checked out by a doctor. Good luck, I hope everything goes well. xxxx

There's one episode in House where they talked about a kind of involuntary twitch that happens when you are falling asleep and the brain misinterprets this as dying. You experience the twitch because your brain is trying to wake you up. I don't really remember what this "twitching" is called. Of course, as I'm not a doctor, I'm not really sure if that's all that your experiencing. If it really bothers you, I suggest you consult a doctor.

you're really tired, you don't rest enough, and you don't take enough breaks

i heard that some people react that way to drinking lots of caffeine through out the day.
