Vibration: Does this occur only when you are lying in bed? If so, what position are you in? There could be a pinched nerve causing this. Any back pain? A pinched nerve causing paresthesias in toes can come from back level as well as further down. Usually a herniated disc causing tingling in the toes will have associated pain in the back. If symptoms occur in both feet, have a blood sugar and B12 tested.

Not easily explained: It is hard to find a definitive reason for the phenomena. Patients swear that the affected area is actually buzzing, not tingling, not partially numb, but actually buzzing. I believe that muscles supplying the area are micro flexing. This micro flexing causes micro movements of the tendons and the toes which is perceived as vibrating or buzzing. All this is related to a disrupted nerve control.
