Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

Hi again
By trap I meant the trapezoid muscle. The vagus nerve is very important in nervous system regulation and can get out of whack with trauma or stress. There’s many books out there about it. I personally can tell a difference in my internal tremors/vibrations if I am very relaxed when falling asleep like I said before having a neck and shoulder massage right before.
BTW when my nighttime tremors first started I literally could not sleep. Every single time I would start to fall asleep the internal tremor was so bad it woke me up. A continuous cycle. I was convinced I had atrial flutter because they felt like they were in my chest. Cardiologist put monitor on me and said no. The tremors are now more in my legs but less intense. Tried deep breathing last night before bed and I think it helped a little. Good luck to all.

Thanks everyone for the comments and questions.
There must be a commonality.
My vibrations have been going on for years but minimally in my neck and always just as I was falling asleep. I attributed them to melatonin kicking in as I was taking 20 mg. as cancer prevention. However, I was advised by a Dr. to get off of that dosage when my sleep issues started. Then the vibrations got a lot worse!
After a year of doctors and pharmaceutical meds which were very unpleasant, and after getting off of all the meds last winter, the vibrations seemed to be better. I had to go back on mirtazipine at a lower dose, 7.5 mg/night to help with sleep. Vibrations are less than before but are still there. I’m wondering about CNS issues as I was diagnosed with mold toxicity last summer. I have not done the protocol yet but may start that soon. It’s expensive!
So I wonder about melatonin and other hormonal triggers/variation. Also, because I have Hashimoto’s disease, my thyroid has been really variable and I’ve had to adjust my dose 3 times in the past year. Prior to this year my dose was the same for a long time, maybe 8-10 years.
Mirtazipine regulates norepinephrine etc. and so I wonder if hormones are a major player in these vibrations. I have not had a sleep study but think that may be helpful. Also wondering about pulmonary issues. I am a runner and all the the symptoms feel better when I’m exercising. Thank you all for the input. With everyone’s input, we may get closer to a diagnosis than any single doc. alone.

I also wore a monitor for 2 weeks and had 2 episodes but monitor didn't pick up anything. Relative to your deep breathing, that's why I think the nasal cpap helps me because it is continously forcing air down and that has helped with my vibrations. I use it every night right before I go to sleep, for 4 hours.
