A member asked:
I haven't been able to sleep for the past two nights because as soon as i fall to sleep, i am immediately woken by an involuntary twitch. it has happened with every sleep attempt. will symptoms resolve on their own and how long will it last?

Sounds like episodic benign myoclonic jerks which can occur in many as sleep begins. If this also occurs at other times during nite, consider Paroxysmal Limb Movements of Sleep (FKA, nocturnal myoclonus), and see a sleep specialist or neurologist.
