Why do my body and eyes twitch when i close my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
VariousPossibilities: This is a pretty broad description. Generally localized muscles or muscle groups such as in the eyelids can twitch or have mini-spasms based on misfires from the nerve(s) controlling them. Best bet is to minimize or avoid any stimulants such as caffeine and try some extra hydration. If symptoms persist or are functionally bothersome, see your md for further diagnostic and treatment options.
