Please have your: husband see a neurologist to rule out possible seizure disorder. Some forms of this are associated w/sleep. Peace and good health.

Night shaking: People can be reacting to a dream but not remember any content. But good idea to ask about possible sleep study and physical exam in case an organic cause. If doctors determine it's not organic concern, please consider my training No More Nightmares. People who are moving a lot in their sleep but remember no content often benefit from this training and all the big body movement stops!
