A member asked:
What do you suggest if my girlfriend shakes alot while sleeping why ?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Some thots: Might be a sleep disorder, called paroxysmal limb movements in sleep, but also consider REM sleep disorder. Less likely are nocturnal seizures. Maybe need to consult with sleep specialist.
