A member asked:
My sister is shaking in her sleep. her whole body shakes (like she's cold) for 1-2 second. she does this 1-5 times a minute. should i be concerned?

Could be normal: This could be normal movements in her sleep when she is dreaming. There are also abnormal sleep movements that are not dangerous necessarily but could be interrupting quality sleep. She can have a sleep study to evaluate this further.
