Why am I not able to take an afternoon nap?

I am 34 years old and I have a habit of sleeping the afternoons. These past few days I have noticed movements during my afternoon nap (please note this is restricted to my sleep during afternoon only) One time my belly involuntarily went in! This other time my head started moving without me trying to move it Sometimes my hands move and sometimes its my legs Any idea what this could be? What specialist should I consult

Not sure I understand the question.  Are you asleep while these movements are happening?  If so, how do you know?  Is someone watching you?  

If you aren't asleep but just resting, that's a different matter.

In any case, if you want a consultation usually best to start with your primary care physician who can refer you if necessary to the right specialist.
