I don't think it's anything bad, just your muscles relaxing after being tensed up all day, try having a warm bath and relaxing a bit before trying to sleep, it helps me, I seem to be drifting off to sleep when I feel as though I'm falling off a cliff and my arms and legs jump around!

It's called a myoclonic jerk, defined as "irregular involuntary contraction of a muscle usually resulting from functional disorder of controlling motoneurons."

I believe its normal. I used to have this boyfriend that was a professional swimmer and he would do it really hard right before he went to sleep. His trainer told him it was just muscle overusage and they were "winding" down for the night.

You should definitely go to the dr. I had a similar problem not real serious but can mess you up pretty good if you do not get it taken care of.

It sounds like "restless leg syndrome."
Avoid caffeine, and sugar. Stretch in the morning, and at night.

See a doctor, a neurologist (nerve specialist) for tests

I think this is caused by the muscles relaxing, my husband does it all the time.
