Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

This has been driving me nuts! Had this since about a week after Christmas.
The only way I can explain it is the sensation of rumbling/trembling when you yawn… except I’m not yawning, I am waking in the night feeling like this. It goes on for about 20ish seconds and I feel it in my head and both arms. It is worse when I’ve been drinking alcohol. I don’t have it at all when I am awake.
I haven’t found anything really on Dr Google until I stumbled on this post. I never connected it to Covid, but I have had covid definitely once in October and possibly mild again in December. This would link up to possibly long covid…. Googling internal tremors and long covid brings up a whole host of anecdotal research.

Yep, mine started after having Covid this past July and followed by 2nd vaccine a few weeks later. But now I notice it very slightly in my arms and legs at times during the waking hours as well. Thats all fairly new as it was strictly while sleeping or falling into a sleep previously. Have a doctor appt. on Tuesday due to newer daytime symptoms but I feel as if I'm wasting my time as they don't know squat from what I'm hearing so far. Many post covid clinics have been set up to research these long hauler issues so hopefully somethjing will come of it. I read Senator Tim Kaine as these vibrations 24/7 so his must be really bad. BTW, I tried to set up an appt. with one of these clinics but can't get in without physician referral and proof of test that I had Covid?? Seriously I told them I was diagnosed via an home test, I knew I had it. Frustrating.
I started having these along with many other post Covid symptoms. The trembling is the strangest feeling. I feel it most in the abdomen and I can literally see my abdomen trembling.
