Why did my entire body shake right before I was in deep sleep?

Question

I've had a stressful day and just eaten a heavy dinner. So I went to bed and right before i fell deep asleep I felt my whole body shake. I immediately woke up and I have a feeling of lost of energy. I also feel like I need to throw up. Why is this?

Answer 1

Your Enigma is right, take his/her advice. It's your probably one of your body's shutting down mechanisms, a stage where your body is almost totally relaxed, perhaps an involuntary body spasm, it's happened to me. Scared my husband to death because it made my body " jump " as my husband put it.

  I prefer to refer to it as " involuntary body popping " *lol*

Good Luck. X :-)

Answer 2

It's usually a stage in sleep. Though is this persists and seems to get worse, it should probably be safer to consult with your doctor.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

yeah its just something that happens always as you fall asleep but you probably just noticed it for the first time.  it is a stage of sleep..but nothing to worry about unless like the other person said that it persists or gets worse and doesnt let you sleep.

Answer 4

Oh man i hate that it scares the c**p out of me, i will be half asleep but then i will be kind of like dreaming of somthing like running and falling down, than my body will just jump! Its so weird especially when i am half asleep and i kind of know wut is going on around me.
