I am 50 and just started with this symptom about 9 months ago. I am thinking it has something to do with wireless/electromagnetic energy. It started when we moved to a new house and all the wireless and cable routers were in the master BR under my side of the bed. Furthermore, just outside the french doors in my BR that lead to the back porch is a bunch of telephone/power wires that run from the street to an alley way behind our house. I live in Mobile, Al but ironically just went on a trip to upper Michigan and did not experience the symptoms at all - for just over a week. I am back and now so is the symptoms. I recently found out that in Huntsville - about 5 hours to the north of me, and Eglin AFB in Florida, which is about 2 hours to the southeast of me are huge fields that are sending signals into outer space trying to make contact or something like that. These fields of equipment are massive and said to be putting out a ton of microwave signals. Also, when we talk on cell phones, use high tech phones and IPADS, the signals actually go right through us. That just can't be good. I just became aware of certain towns that are cellphone and wireless free because of this very thing. I guess in W. Virginia. Just a thought.

Thank you for providing the results of your testing for inner tremors. You mentioned an elevated arsenic level and the possibility of heavy metals. Since Dr. Oz mentioned the danger of mercury poisoning in those of us with amalgum fillings, I've been taking 2000 mg of chlorella daily (which should eliminate mercury through the intestines). When I mentioned to my PCP that my inner tremors seem to coincide with my pulse rate, she ordered a 48 hour Holter Monitor. The result is that I have premature ventricular contractions and premature arterial contractions, both of which are common and don't warrant treatment at this time. It seems that I'll have to learn to live with my tremors. Here's wishing you improved health. 2concerned2013
I am a 56yo female. I, too, have tremors at night when I am in a twilight sleep (partially awake), especially toward the morning. A neurologist refused to do any testing because my hands are rock steady during the day. This started about 2 years ago, close to the time I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I use a c-pap machine to sleep so the apnea seems to be controlled....I don't know if the two are related. I had a second sleep study with all of the electrodes glued to my head, specifically to see if it would show anything related to my tremors. Even though i woke in the morning with my head and arms vibrating, it did not show up in their reading. Like some of the other folks, I had been taking antidepressants for years when this started (Effexor). I went off of it a year ago but nothing changed. I am much worse if I take a calcium supplement. I am better if I take magnesium at night before going to be. I now also take a low dose of lorazepam (ativan) in addition to the magnesium before bed and they both seem to help. Most nights now I don't have the tremors, but they still return in spells. If I don't take the magnesium, I will DEFINATELY have them. If I take calcium, I will DEFINATELY have them. Every doctor just shrugs as if it is nothing and say they have never heard of it. It really will ruin my sleep any night I have them. Hope some of us can put the pieces of this puzzle together. I can be reached at ***@**** for anyone who has this problem and wants to discuss it. Julie
i am looking into this as i am getting these feelings. i shake or my whole bady twitches when trying to sleep at least 5 times every night. i tend to lose feeling in my body which makes me shake and i get it back. this has been well over a year. I have had anxiety in the past but i dont want to instantly think its that again.
have you tried looking at Gluten (being allergic to it)? Do you exercise regulary? Have you ever been on anit-depressants that could have caused this? My husband is going through simular things but explains it more like an adrenaline rush, along with severe aniexty.
I am 38 and have had the sleep tremors for some time time over the last 10 year period. However, I contributed them to being on Celexa. I started taking Celexa back in 2001 and just recently went off of it (like a month ago).
I noticed that when I would forget to take it for a day or two, the tremors would start. Once I'd taken it again regularly the tremors went away.
But, when I experienced the tremors I only had them at night or when I woke up in the middle of the night or in the morning still being in a mid-sleep state, for a lack of better words.
I thought the tremors were all but gone until this morning.
I've been Celexa free for about 2 months now and I had a tremor this morning when I woke up with my alarm.
Not sure what it's from but I'm thinking it's stress related.
I'm also mid-menstrual cycle right now and have cluster headaches with it. So I'm not sure if it's related. Allergies are horrible too...
No answers yet! Everything is gone except for the sleep shakes, which i can control pretty good with sleep hygene practices and stress management. No answers though. If you want to chat more about it send me a private message.

I am am 40 and have just started to have very similar symptoms to you. I noticed that your posting was from a year ago -- have you found anything out in this last year?
