Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Some possibilities: I don't know why you have tingling associated with sleep. A person can tactile hallucinations (not common). Other possible causes are fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome & muscular sclerosis. Regardless of cause, a polysomnograph is usually required to get an accurate diagnosis.
