I had this since as long as I can remember but for the past 2 years it has been worst.
Normally I don't notice it but my partner does. While I'm sleeping my body jerks or my legs kick. Now there is other times were my body and/ or leg jerk so bad I wake up from the force.
Any ideas

It is not RLS- I check that out. With the RLS you move your leg because of a feeling in your legs. Mind happen for no reason. I do not have any abnormal feeling in my legs. Plus it is not just my legs but at time my whole body.

It could be possible that you have RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME
If you do have restless legs syndrome (RLS), you are not alone. Up to 10% of the U.S. population may have this neurologic condition. Many people have a mild form of the disorder, but RLS severely affects the lives of millions of individuals. In order for you to be officially diagnosed with RLS, you must meet the criteria described below:
1. You have a strong urge to move your legs which you may not be able to resist. The need to move is often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. Some words used to describe these sensations include: "creeping", "itching", "pulling", "creepy-crawly", "tugging" or "gnawing".
2. Your RLS Symptoms start or become worse when you are resting. The longer you are resting, the greater the chance the symptoms will occur and the more severe they are likely to be.
3. Your RLS symptoms get better when you move your legs. The relief can be complete or only partial but generally starts very soon after starting an activity. Relief persists as long as the motor activity continues.
4. Your RLS symptoms are worse in the evening especially when you are lying down. Activities that bother you at night do not bother you during the day

this is a mild seisure. some people only experiece seisures while asleep this can be what is happening to you. Sometimes these seisures only occuring during certain sleep stages called REM periods, but you may need to see a neuroligist .
