Why do I twitch when i am falling asleep?

Q: Everytime I am falling asleep, my leg twitches.. i feel it.. but i am still asleep... WHY IS THIS?

A: When you are asleep, your muscles are partly paralysed to stop you actually "Acting out" your dreams. Perhaps something is delaying this... As long as it doesn't hurt you, or irritate you in any way other than annoyance, don't worry about it. We've all got our problems. If it is continuing to happen in a month or so, or if you are experiencing pain or discomfort, go to your doctor. Good luck.
