Just before I fall off to sleep my body has a spasm or jitter.?

Question

Just before falling asleep I tend to have a whole body spasm that is some times all over and some times in just certain areas. Any suggestions as to what causes this and if it is a serious thing and requires attention. It happens every night just before bed. Every night!!!

Answer 1

I believe it's from your muscles relaxing, it causes them to spasm

Answer 2

this happens to a lot of people it is normal.  

Answer 3

I had an ex- wife who has a similar symptom.  Hers were often borderline seizures.  These spasms/seizures were as a result of her failure to maintain a good blood sugar level.  She was diabetic.  You should consult a physician regarding these seizures and maybe they can diagnose it.
