Fellas, This sounds similar to myoclonus. A spasmodic twitching of a limb when sleeping. I quickly looked it up because my neuro and I had discussed this when we were trying to figure out what was ailing me. The given definition in "The Mosby Medical Encyclopedia" is:"a spasm of a muscle or a group of muscles sometimes causing spasmodic movements of a limb .... usually taking place while sleeping."
