Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

It’s so interesting that we are mostly all experiencing the exact same symptoms but in different parts of the body. This tells me it must be a nervous system thing.

I am scheduling a sleep study soon since my take-home sleep study showed signs of sleep apnea. Although my husband maintains that I absolutely do NOT snore, which is strange.

I had been convinced that mine were related to COVID infection or even having taken Paxil some 20 years back. My vibrations are in the back of my head/upper neck & so I was even thinking they had something to do with hormones or seratonin production.

They now occur with such frequency that I barely notice them. Just turn my head & they stop temporarily. I don’t know if they are happening while I’m fully asleep or not, but when I get up with an alarm, I don’t notice them at all. Maybe because I’m immediately awake, & wakefulness is what seems to stop them.

I had them once recently (while sleeping on my side, which I rarely do) in my hand, as it was laying on top of my cheek. Instead of my hand “falling asleep,” it vibrated along with my head vibrations. That confused me but may provide another piece to the puzzle.

Some on here have said their vibrations disappear after using c-paps or oxygen treatment, so maybe there is something about not getting enough blood/oxygen that is causing these.

My sleep vibrations are worse when sleeping on my side too. I rarely notice then when sleeping on my back. I wonder why.
