Waking up with body vibrations

[TatiSD]

I am wondering if anyone has ever felt the following:  Almost every night I fall asleep normally only to suddenly wake up 20-30 minutes later with these feeling of vibration throughout my whole body.  MY heart seems slightly irregular and has the feeling like it wants to start racing.  Sometimes it does, most times it just beats strongly.  The vibrating feeling throughout my body is disconcerting.  I put my hand out to see if I'm actually shaking.  I am slightly but nothing in comparison to what I feel internally.  It last up to 5 minutes, then eventually I fall asleep, only to wake again after 20-30 minutes.  This can happen up to 5-7 times a night.  Eventually I fall asleep and fall into the regular REM sleep.
Any thoughts?  Thank you all.  
PS.  I do not drink alcohol, smoke nor take caffeine.

Hey all.  I've had this thing happen a few times and decided to look it up.  First off, being in the spiritual guild so to speak, I'd caution other practitioners from immediately saying that others are having the same experience as you.  They might be having an obe or they might just be sleeping weird and compressing nerves.  Or, it seems like a ton of other things.  For me, it's definitely not a spiritual thing.  My body is telling me it's not happy.  This time when it happened it was concentrated in my torso  but when I lifted my arm where I have been dealing with compressed nerves, the sensation moved to the arm.  For me (and in portion at least), I am sleeping weird and compressing things.  I might also suggest that those taking new medications that *especially* affect the brain, that you might be loosening some things up and sleeping differently.  Or, you might be tightening airways and causing different affects on the body.  Whatever this is, it seems to be a body response to something happening in the body.  When people are talking about localized vibrations, it definitely seems like nerves (but could also be the body alerting you to something more severe.)
    So, there probably isn't one answer  but I hope I can help you close in on the answer for you.  I would start with basics.  Electrolytes, plenty of water, nutrition.  Are they all in check?  What has changed for you in the few days prior?  Are you waking up in weird positions?  Do you feel like Spirit is trying to get through to you? (lol, if you do then I would talk with a skilled professional that you like.  One that is verified! (reviews can be good  but do these ppl really know?  Ask yourself how the review is written.  Are the ppl wowed and in space or are they saying this person is very serious about their work.  And make sure you like the person.)   After making a checklist of any changes and possible causes (airways restricted, nerves, electrolytes, etc.)  an easy and cheap thing to do is check out books.  
A previous poster suggested  "Hope and Help for Your Nerves" by Dr. Diane Weekes
I would add 3 steps to living pain free  and trigger point therapy workbook (with a spiky ball)  **even though these are general wellness, triggerpoint therapy might be a great help**
For those who enjoy a yoga approach, youtube has some pretty good teachers maybe look up something with the nerves.  
Meditation  Equisynch.  
For a more energy practice JinShinJiutsu by Mary Burmeister  (this practice takes some seat time  but very effective.)  
In whatever path to wellness to take, I wouldn't ignore it.  If it's Spirit, then why would you?  Wouldn't you want to know what they're trying to tell you?  If it's physical, then your body is telling you something is going on.  I'd rule out the physical and then go to spiritual.  If you're having any kind of feelings/urges to walk a more spiritual path, then it could very well be  but it could also be a body response.  (lol, I have at time to time in my path thought something was spiritual for it to turn out to be a simple physical thing.  It's ok, we've all been there.  Doesn't mean you're not spiritual, just maybe not this thing.)  You can do a spiritual checklist too.  Any stressors going on?  Any feeling of displacement?  Life feeling boring and dull?  IF there is no harm and no major expense to any of these therapies, why not explore it?  The main thing is to find what is right for you.  What solves the problem or makes the heart sing *and not vibrate your body crazily*  Spirit has been known to take extreme measures to get in touch with you.  Watch the long island medium and what she went through.  If you want to see a through and through verified medium/lightworker she's a great place to have a reference point.  (btw a lot of light workers are not mediums, so verifying that your cat would lay down in a certain place would be wholly ineffective.  If you're looking at Reiki or some modality (even acupunture).  Ask for references and their success rate.  A very good lightworker will be happy and proud to share that information.  They might not have it  but if you accept a treatment,  then you should definitely feel different afterwords and have a good idea of the person.  Some Reiki people sadly can barely run enough energy to tickle you much less heal you of anything.  (gahh, I can hear the pitchforks being sharpened.  Ppl love to say that it doesn't matter, that Spirit will do it....have your own ideas whatever  results are the proof in the pudding.  I've personally seen reiki 'masters'  give several treatments with no result just saying it takes time.  Bahh!  There should be some results from day 1.  It could take time  but in my experience ppl who do not have the capacity or true love of what their doing aren't really doing it.  Why aren't you getting a result?  Duhhh....you're not doing it right.  Reiki is 100% effective in the hands of a true healer.  If you're a student of just starting out, it can take time to develop the skills to be a healer.  It's a lifelong thing.)  I half apologize for the digression  but someone needed it.  
That said, this is a thing.  And to the guy where it went down in a different room.  Totally agree, that's an outside thing.  Logical conclusion right?  Maybe try a qlink energy pendant.  One last thing and for people dealing with mental health concerns.  I'm not saying anything either way.  Your health is in your own hands.  Don't change your medication bc of something you read online.  but....meditation with skill can possibly remedy most issues.  If you need the meds, use them until you don't.   talk with your doc (gotta say that bc if someone has a serious issue and gets off their meds and causes harm I don't want to be a part of it spiritually or legally.  Your life is in your own hands).  (Allopathic Medicine has its place, if you say you learned how to meditate your problems away expect some looks. Work on your nutrition, balance and learn to ground yourself.  And explain things in a very fact based logical manner.)
I had some of the same experiences as the long island medium and it turns out Spirit was definitely getting in touch with me.  This doesn't mean that everyone with anxiety is having Spirit mess with them  but it is a possibility.  That's another conversation though.  (how'd I get on this tangent?  lol, trying to answer everything at once..bahh.  Create a great self.  IT's so worth it.

Do you take a benzodiazepine like Xanax, Klonopin, etc.? I have the same symptoms btw. I’m 57 and it started about six months or so ago out of no where. I can only attribute it to the Klonopin I take which I’m trying to get off of.

I’ve had the same experience off and on for years. I asked my doctor and he said this is a side affect to a drug I take called klonopin/clonazepam. I only take 1mg at night to help me sleep.  Do any of you take this or something like it?

Internal vibrations that wake you up are a symptom of sleep paralysis.  Look up 'sleep paralysis' on Wikipedia.  It is all biological.  I experience the vibrations occasionally.  It is critical to exercise excellent sleep hygiene over a long time. Personally, using cognitive behavioral therapy exercises an hour before bed to unload anxiety and negative thoughts, not eating 3 hours before bed, limiting salt and fatty foods in the evening, drinking chamomile tea, stretching, and a cool bedroom help.  When I don't practice these activities, the vibrations sometimes happen, I then sit up and sometimes take ibuprofen.

This is not anxiety. It is a natural process that human bodies experience as our consciousness shifts into different states during sleep. You notice the vibrations as you shift back into the waking state and the vibrations come over a bit from your sleep state. The vibrations are increasing for a lot of people right now as our energy increases and expands with a shift that is occurring on Earth and in our solar system right now. Many of us experience these vibrations regularly through meditation and spiritual practices but it is increasing in many people now because of energy shifts that are going on on the planet. If you are truly interested in knowing more about this and why it is happening to so many people look up energy shift of Earth.

Wow I didn’t think so many had this problem.. last night I was terrified to fall back asleep and just felt an evil presence in my room after the whole ordeal. I was dreaming random dreams when all of a sudden it sounded like a freight freight was fast approaching and my body started to vibrate more intensely. While the vibrating was getting worse I heard like a screaming in my head that felt like it was going to explode then after like 10 secs it would stop and start over again 4 more times during this time I somehow managed to grip my husbands hand and was squeezing as hard as I could to wake him because I was too scared to even open my eyes or speak. Just felt like I was paralyzed from fear and when I finally was able to move my heart was pounding and didn’t want to fall back asleep. I woke up my husband to hold me because I was that terrified.. I hope I never feel that again.

Sorry Sharon, it was a symptom of sleep paralysis which you can read about on Wikipedia.
