Do you or someone you know twitch while asleep?

Asked by erichw1504 (26453points) March 23rd, 2010

It takes me longer to fall asleep than my wife, so I can always tell when she has dozed off because her body does random twitches. Her arm will do a little jolt, then a few seconds later it’ll be her leg, then her foot. They are only small twitches, but I find it kind of weird. And she doesn’t do it all night, just for the first 15 minutes or so after she has fallen asleep.

Do you or someone you know do this? How severe is it? What causes this? Is there a rememdy?

Any other weird things you notice that someone does while asleep?
