Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

You have described exactly what I’ve been dealing with for six months now. I feel it in my chest area too, along my collar bone and mostly on my left side. I was sure it was my heart but a holter didn’t show anything. It only happens when I’m falling asleep or when I slightly wake up during the night or when I’m waking up in the morning. As soon as I’m fully awake, it goes away and I don’t ever have it during the day. In the morning, especially, when I’m half sleeping and half waking up and stretching, it seems to trigger it. It happens no matter what position I’m laying in. I’m so relieved to read your experience because I have been worried about what this is for so long but like you, it doesn’t seem to be turning into anything more serious and I’ve ruled out cardiac issues. I should add that I am 42 in generally healthy. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t consume caffeine and I try to walk daily. I’m not overweight.

Do you deal with stress or stomach/digestive issues?
I have had the same thing for 7 yrs and not been able to figure it out. The frequency of the vibration has slowed over the yrs and it seems to be related to the dose of Vitamin D I was taking. Since cutting out Vitamin D supplement it has virtually disappeared. I noted another person felt it was related to obstructive sleep apnea but I am not sure about that as I do not have it , at least in any severity according to testing but some nights might be different than others. It only happens to me as you say when you are just waking up in the night or it might be that it wakens me but never when I am fully awake or in the day. There is also another thing that can cause body vibrations but these are not the same and of much lower frequency and that is natural sources of licorice such as the DaraLea brand. You will notice the vibration the same way either falling asleep or waking but it is usually within 24 hours of eating the licorice and cutting it out stops it from happening again. If anyone has found a cure for the other vibrations other than Vitamin D as a cause, let me know. These vibrations are not due to stress or anxiety.

sounds quite simlar to what I had in 2015.
It was probably worse with prostate medication.
It slowly improved after prostate laser enaculation.
Now it's very rare, maybe once per year.
Frequency was a bit higher than the heart.
I could hear it in the stethoscope but only a few seconds then it went away
with full consciousness.
It was mainly in the chest , but I could feel it down below the belly-button
It was clearly quickly worse on effort like stretching
