Better see MD: It could be restless leg if you are sleeping and your legs move much. If you are awake and then fall asleep (unconscious) then wake up, it could be seizure. It is hard to determine from the presentation. Better see your md and they could do the necessary tests, including metabolic tests to make sure. Proper evaluation and tests and proper treatment would put you more at ease.
