I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced this: about to enter a sweet sleep, suddenly like an electric shock shaking, or involuntarily kicked, instantly awakened. The answers on the Internet are varied Some say calcium deficiency, some say they are still growing, others say the nervous system sent you a pop-up shaking …… One doctor’s answer is even more frightening: the nervous system found that you fell asleep and have not been active for a long time, so it moved you to try to see if you are dead… … To cut to the chase, about the involuntary body shaking, the experts’ explanation is: pro-sleep muscle twitching disorder. This unconscious muscle twitching is when the body shakes menacingly just before falling asleep, and it is usually accompanied by a feeling of falling or stepping out of the way. Some data show that about 70% of people shake in their sleep. What is myoclonus? It is a normal physiological manifestation, such as hiccups, twitching during sleep, or twitching during stress or fatigue. Occasional sudden jerking during sleep is normal and occurs in everyone. Occasional jerking is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs when a person is in the “rapid eye movement phase” of sleep and goes to sleep with the “rapid eye movement phase”. Why does the muscle twitching phenomenon occur? 1.Overexertion High work pressure, long overtime, poor sleep quality and other reasons, it is inevitable that the spirit is not too good, too nervous. 2, calcium deficiency Low blood calcium, which leads to muscle and nerve hyperexcitability, thus causing the spasms and twitches. This is also the reason why children are prone to “stepping on air and waking up” when they are growing up. 3.Liver and kidney deficiency Myoclonus is not very intense, but more frequent, it may be caused by liver and kidney deficiency and lack of qi and blood. 4.Symptomatic myoclonus is accompanied by headache, dizziness, etc. CT or MRI examination of the brain is needed to determine if this myoclonus is a symptom of brain lesions. The causes include metabolic or storage diseases of brain cells, degenerative diseases of the brain, sequelae of cerebral hypoxia, sequelae of traumatic brain injury, lesions of the basal nucleus of the brain, encephalitis, etc. In other words, the frequent sudden shaking of the body while sleeping may be a distress signal from the brain to tell you that your health has started to light up red, and you should see a doctor. These methods can reduce the pro-sleep muscle cramps 1, more stretching muscles before going to bed can stretch the gastrocnemius, foot muscles, which helps prevent cramps. Stretching the same way as leg cramps, stretching the gastrocnemius and foot muscles. 2, proper water, less coffee Proper hydration before bedtime is good for your health.

During the day to pay attention to strengthen physical exercise, even if you do not sleep well at night, you should get up on time. This persists for several days, it will gradually get better. Can’t imagine it! In most cases, when sleeping suddenly vacant, stepping on the air awakened, in fact, with the hiccups is the same, belong to a natural phenomenon Oh!
