People say when i sleep I jerk and spaz/twitch. Why is this? Is it a sleeping disorder? I have the same problem and I underwent some serious sleeping tests to figure out what it was and it was a big hassle. Trust me it isn't worth it. It can be caused by 2 things and they are never sure what it is one is like a "brain short" when you are in REM sleep and it is not a health problem. Just makes it hard for others to sleep in the same bed as you:). The other cause of it is dreams. They think when this is the cause(but they aren't sure) that it will happen every night but the intensity of the spazms will vary depending on the dream. My dr. told me basically if it isn't bothering my sleep it isn't a big deal and i'm not sleep walking so its not dangerous either. Yep. It is a dysfunction of the system in your brain which paralyzes you for deep sleep. Is it important? Probably not... lots of people have a form of this some are as severe as sleep walkers. It is only a disorder if it happens when it is not supposed to. When you switch from S-sleep to REM sleep, your muscle tone changes, and often this is associated with a feeling of "falling" or other conditions to which the body's normal response is to twitch. This is known as hypnogogia, and it is normal. Also, depending on what you are dreaming about, you may twitch during REM sleep at times. However, if it happening uncontrollably, it wakes you up, and you cannot connect it to anything that was "happening" while you were sleeping, there may be another cause. If you are concerned, you might want to talk to a sleep therapist to find out if there is any reason to be concerned. You might have Restless Leg Syndrome. I have it, but I've controlled it a lot since I was a kid. Ask your doctor! It could also be some form of restless leg syndrome. If it doesn't interupt your sleep and you feel rested, no need to worry. You probably have Restless leg Syndrome. If it bothers you too much or cause fatigue you need to see a doctor. It is treatable. Dont believe them and you will sleep better |
