When I lay down to sleep my muscles will twitch. it started 3-4yrs ago with just a finger now and then. but now it could be my left or right side of my body will twitch at once. it doesn't hurt so i ignore it most of the time. But no matter what I do if I lay down before I sleep my body will twitch.
Now when I fall asleep in a chair or otherwise not lieing down I don't twitch. Just when I lie down anywhere.
And no I don't drink or take ANY drugs legal or otherwise. so don't go accuseing.
but any help would be cool.

i would check it with a doctor as this is just a guess.
1. either sub-consciously you are afraid of something when you are lying down and your muscles are twitching because they are ready to move (you may not think that you are afraid of something but everyone's mind has a mind of its own). because you are lying down you might feel vulnerable than when you are sitting.
2. your muscles might of been doing a lot of work every day and when you lay down your muscles are stretched and have no slack to move around freely thus pulling that side of the body.
3. maybe its a condition which spread from your fingers to the rest of your body.
please for your sake see a doctor.

You should go to the doctor and get an MRI of your back. I have the same thing.....I have 2 bulging disks in my lower back. Mine however, does effect me when I lie, sit or stand for too long. Anyways....get an MRI done, then you'll probably be in Physical Therapy 1-2 times a week for ultrasounds and electrodes. But it is working.

I know someone with the same initials as you...Chad B!! Anyway, I would call your Doctor!! It sounds like whatever the problem is it is spreading and you need to get it cleared up. I wish you the best of luck!

Not sure, but if it disturbes your sleep, take a Benadryl before going to bed each night. Get a new bed, also. It might just be something messed up about your old bed.

Find a doctor, and ask. Anyone giving you advice otherwise is not informative nor helpful

Sounds like something to do with your nerves, whether a pinched nerved or sometype of disorder. As always you should consult a doctor with any medical problem.
