A member asked:
While watching tv, dozed off . one hand was on my neck & under ear, woke up &something was twitching in neck ..is that due to improper sleep?

Most likely not: More than likely a muscle in your neck was stuck in one position for too long causing some focal cramps or twitchs. Typically should be short lasting and resolve with some warm packs, anti inflammatory, or a good nights rest.
