I've been experiencing tremor like jerks and twitches thru out my body as i'm falling asleep every night for the last 5-6 weeks and as much as 3-5 tim?

Most likely benign: Nocturnal myoclonus at onset of sleep cycle is normal activity, but if sleep is disturbed and such activity continues throughout the night, this would be a variant of RLS termed Paroxysmal Limb Movements of Sleep, and would need evaluation and therapy. You could discuss further via Concierge Consult.
