No: If it is only last very short period, it will not cause any damage. But if it happens frequently and interfere with your sleep or daily activities, you need to consult a neurologist to role out motion disorders.

No health concerns: Twitching of the eye lids is very rarely of concern. Rarely some syndromes such as la tourette can start with eyelid twitching and grimacing. Most of the time it is an innocent condition, which will go away. Getting adequate rest may help.
