the "twitch" is similar to the movement that occurs when you have the dream that you are falling down the steps, etc., but it is not accompanied by the dream. it doesn't occur right as i am falling asleep, but instead, when i have been asleep for an hour or more. sometimes it wakes me up, but sometimes it does not wake me up. it is enough movement that it wakes me partner up, though. it feels as though the movement might look like when someone on television goes in to cardiac arrest and has his or her heart shocked and the whole body bounces up a bit.
any ideas?

This happens when I have a magnesium deficiency...so when it starts bothering me....I get up and take a magnesium pill (from the grocery store...vitimin dept.) and it goes away. This was recommended by a pharmacist who has a natural approach and not just prescription medicine.
It works for me. However, next time you go to the doctor, tell the doc....as they can check your reflexes.

Most people move around in their sleep, some more than others. It may be an accumulation of nervous energy your body needs to work off, or it might be dreams you aren't aware of. If it bugs your partner, try a king-sized bed, or even twin beds put together (separate mattresses) with king-sized bedding. Don't use a waterbed or your partner will get seasick!

ahh this happens to me lots of times. Its a simple little trick of the mind that makes you do this. When your muscles become extremely slack as in about to fall asleep your brain misinterrpruts this that you are falling. almost in a state of illusioned "weightlessness". IT sounds strange, and it is but its true and can happen to pretty much anyone.

I would RUN not walk to see a neurologist. You are going to need a complete sleep study.
This may be a benign issue or a symptom of something more severe.
Please do not wait on this.
Lots of luck.
