Shaking In My Sleep? - Men's Health Information, Including Fitness, Nutrition, Weight Loss, Working Out & Sex

**sneakstooth** · 09-03-2008, 12:29 PM

About 6 months ago I had a reaction to some medication - a seizure of some sort - first one i'd ever had. Afterwards every now and then as I would be falling asleep my body would shake or vibrate a little bit. Now - a couple of nights each month when she notices, my wife will wake me up and say that i'm shaking - my whole body. I don't seem to notice that i'm shaking in my sleep (no dreams about shaking) and i'm not hard to wake up. I don't have any difficulty going back to sleep and i'm normally not tired the next day. My wife says its something I do quite frequently during the night though. I don't think I have any type of day tremor or anything like that. Anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it as this is something that is worrying me greatly.

Well your case may be somewhat isolated form the other sleep related problems but we cant ignore this with time and changing lifestyles our sleep pattern has become rather disturbed too. What we used to refer as sound sleep is no longer there anymore. We need to rectify ourselves so that we can at least get the sleep in peace.
