	Myclonic twitch
		A myclonic twitch or hypnagogic myoclonus consists of one or more sudden full-body twitches, and often preceded by a sensation of falling.
		The twitches occur during very light sleep as the conscious brain relinquishes control of the body's motor functions.
		The cause of myclonic twitching is unknown: they appear to be associated with (a) anxiety and (b) faint stimulus.

	Myoclonus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Myoclonus /ˌmɑɪ̯ˈɑk.lə.nəs/ is brief, involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles.
		The myoclonic twitches or jerks are usually caused by sudden muscle contractions; they also can result from brief lapses of contraction.
		People without epilepsy can suffer small but similar jerks in the form of hiccups or brief twitches; these are perfectly normal.

		I usually have the big twitch on falling asleep and it is definitely not the same thing.

		i wouldn’t exactly call it a twitch, but it kinda looks like she has the hiccups..
		However, reptetitive twitching is a sign of MBD so that would be when you might need the calcium injections (if the UV light and oral calcium aren’t enough to take care of it).
		If it’s a single jerk, and involves the whole body, and happens just occasionally, that’s what it is. If you start seeing constant tremors in the toes or limbs then you need to be worried.

		No weakness, tonight the muscle in my calf felt as though it was being gripped then it twitched a couple of seconds rapidly.
		The twitches are singular or in succession at times, all over.
		I do not notice them when moving, but they are very annoying, especially the calf grip and twitch tonight.

		Dreams in this stage are often accompanied by muscle spasms of the arms, legs, and the whole body.
		Sometimes when we have these falling dreams, we feel our whole body jerk or twitch and we awaken from this jerk.
		It is thought that this jerking action is part of an arousal mechanism that allows the sleeper to awaken and become quickly alert and responsive to possible threats in the environment.

		It's called a myoclonic twitch, and it happens to most people, if not everyone.
		It could also be Restless Leg Syndrome, which my husband had for years until a doctor diagnosed it (he's now on a medication that makes a huge difference).
		The twitching thing was definitely a big symptom, and several times a night he would twitch so violently that it would wake him (or me!) up.
