Ok for me this is a bit embaressing so I'm
comming out of my comfort zone here. As a
child I used, to every night, rock myself
to sleep. I thought those days ended in my
adulthood. Well, replaced by shaking my
foot to go to sleep. Iv'e been told by my
GF that I have been rocking while I sleep.
All those childhood memories came back.
She also mentioned that I kick her allot
while sleeping.
Strange isnt it. Let me know what you
think.

There is noting to be embarrassed for.
What you are experiencing is a kind of
parasomnia, disorder that revolve around
sleep, manifesting like repetitive
movements of certain areas of the body,
just before and during light sleep.
It is called Rhythmic Movement Disorder,
one of the sleep–wake transition
disorders, and, it may be related to the
lack of contact in infancy.
Do you go through body rocking, usually
done on the hands and knees, when you
start to fall asleep?
Are you experiencing sleep deprivation?
Are you going through a stressful period?

My rocking is on my rt side side only.
Just back and forth. I don't know what
you mean about hands and knees. I am tired
most of the day but that may be related to
my meds for bipolar. with 4 kids at 11,7,6
and 5 (b,g,b,g) every day is stressfull.
