What Causes A Feeling Of Vibrations In Body While Sleeping?
Question: My body feels as though I have a slight vibration, most notable when I am laying down. It's not noticeable externally to me or others, not as severe as a tremor, just a very slight vibration. Initially l thought it was my electric bed however no one else could feel it, then one day I was laying on my sofa and started feeling the vibration and that's when I realized it was me and not the motor on my bed. I know this sounds strange, can not imagine what this could be. It's really becoming aggravating. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance, XXXXXXX
