Brief Answer:
This is due to the side effects of Abilify tablets.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern regarding abnormal feeling during sleep.

Abilify is known to cause muscle stiffness, abnormal jerky muscle movements that are not under your control.
This could be the reason behind the tucking sensation when you are asleep.
This drug can also produced convulsion in some patients as its side effect.

You are advised to visit your psychiatrist for this problem, may be you need an alternate drug to control your psychiatric problems.

Hope this answers your query.
