About 6 months ago I had a reaction to
some medication - a seizure of some sort -
first one i'd ever had. Afterwards every
now and then as I would be falling asleep
my body would shake or vibrate a little
bit. Now - a couple of nights each month
when she notices, my wife will wake me up
and say that i'm shaking - my whole body.
I don't seem to notice that i'm shaking in
my sleep (no dreams about shaking) and i'm
not hard to wake up. I don't have any
difficulty going back to sleep and i'm
normally not tired the next day. My wife
says its something I do quite frequently
during the night though. I don't think I
have any type of day tremor or anything
like that. Anyone have any suggestions?
I would really appreciate it as this is
something that is worrying me greatly.

It happens to me too quite a lot, I
wouldnt worry about it too much!
I think it must have something to do with
the electrical impulses in the brain.

Yeah? I hope those impulses aren't an
indicator to something malevolent. Anyone
else had this type of experience?
Btw thanks for the reply

Sleep Shaking Posted: 12-09-04 22:39pm
I too experience this and am various
curious as to what it is. It does not
seem to be listed as a disorder anywhere,
and my doctor doesn't seem to think it is
anything to be concerned about it. What
is strangest is not knowing if it is
really happening as it is in that falling
to sleep stage that it happens to me. It
tends to wake me up completely, but then I
have no problem falling back to sleep.
Very strange--does anyone know more about
it?

Myclonus or hypnic jerking is the closest
I could find (google is great)
nothing serious that I could find.. My
shaking doesn't seem to wake me up
though..

Shaking In My Sleep Posted: 01-11-05 00:39am
I have also had this issue for a couple of
years. My doc says its nothing and I am
healthy otherwise. Tonight I had an
extreme attack and believe I might have
gotten a strong clue about its origin. I
have had a bout with the flu the last few
days and therefore my stomach is gurgling
alot from swallowed mucus and little food
intake. Tonight I awoke with an extreme
twitching just below the sternum. I
believe it might have been my stomach
muscles gurgling, but vibrating intensely
to get rid of the extra mucus. Other
nights it rarely wakes me as I am drifting
off though I thought it was my heart
beating erratically for awhile. This was
not the case. The point is I have had
constant post nasal drip for the same
couple of years and I am wondering if the
draining mucus is upsetting the stomach,
especially when I am on my back sleeping.
Sounds kinda gross, but I am interested in
what others' symptoms are. There seems to
be no real knowledge of this condition out
there. Anyone?

Re:shaking During Sleep... Posted: 01-25-05 10:49am
When I was a child I experienced several
episodes during a 1 year period of waking
to the sensation that my whole bed was
shaking ( which convinced me at the time
the bogeyman was under my bed shaking it)
a couple of years ago I experienced the
same thing, I awoke to the same sensation
of the bed shaking, being older and not
afraid at all I sat up and looked at my
husband and the bed and realized the bed
was not shaking but my whole body was
vibrating very fast, I don't know what
caused it but I am convinced of a link
between it and psychic activity of
sorts.
That may seem a bit odd to some but the
place it happened as a child I was
terrorized by nightmares every night, and
would not be alone in the basement where I
and my siblings slept.
The room I was in as an adult where the
shaking occurred is now my daughters and
she refuses to sleep in there.
As a child in the place where the
nightmares occurred I had a recurring
dream which years later came true.
Is there a psychic link, I don't know but
thought i'd add my experience.

Ive had the bed shaking experience 4 times now Posted: 05-18-08 18:16pm
Hello, in the past two years ive felt this
experience about 3 or 4 times, not sure.
But about two days ago it happened again
and I started browsing about bed shaking
in google. I found out im no the only one,
although ive seen some weird things which
i dont believe, i dont think im getting
possesed or anything. but i do think its
weird, and freaky.
the last time it happened, and every other
time before, im sleeping, deep sleeping
then suddenly i feel shaking, i feel the
bed shaking so i wake up to see if its a
dream, or an earthquake, and i find myself
concious touching the bed and it is REALLY
shaking, then i lean over and touch the
floor but its not, at least i cant feel
the floor shaking. so i lay back in bed
and the shaking continues for about 30
secs then its gone. the shakin is so real
i wake entirely up, sit on my bed and
start thinking what can it be, lights on
and everything. then i sleep again.
