Epileptics - Twitching While Going to Sleep? Posted: 11-29-07 19:50pm


I have an epileptic friend and he twitches a lot while he is going to sleep. I mean I'll ocassionally twitch while I'm drifting off, but he... he'll be still for maybe a minute or so but then he'll twitch somewhere every 10 seconds or so. I was wondering if this is a result of epilepsy?

hi there. my husband has epilepsy and he twitches at night to. his doctor told us is was because of his epilepsy. it could be from you muscles trying to relax. i don't know if that helps you, but you might talk to you doctor about it.

i get twitches, but they arent generaly from epilepsy...i think. i had drifted off last night and had a very large twitch resulting in me leaping out of bed, then i realsied i had dreamed i fell down the stairs haha. i do however get mild ones during the stress of the day or during lack of sleep.
