So it has been the past few years I have
been experiencing this. There is no
pattern to it. It has happened a few
nights in a row and then most of the times
there can be days to a few weeks between
these occurrences.
I would be almost asleep in bed, kind of
in the in between state where I'm relaxing
my mind, I'm breathing slower, just your
basic process of trying to fall asleep,
and then I would feel the bed shake. Like
someone is standing at the foot of the bed
consistently nudging it with their knee.
Usually it lasts for about 1-3 minutes. I
thought maybe it was me moving, so I tried
a few things like paying so much attention
to my body laying completely still, to
holding my knees up to my chest, to
sitting up in bed. And still the bed keeps
shaking. I just can't figure out what this
could be. I'm never woken up by it, it
always happens when I'm just relaxed and
sometimes my eyes are even open when it
happens.
It's not a nice thing to experience. I
don't like this feeling, most of the times
I just close my eyes and just cuddle up
next to my husband and it eventually goes
away. It's not a jolting feeling, I live
in Alberta and we don't have earthquakes.
I have experienced sleep paralysis once,
about 6+ months ago, where I was lying in
bed and all of sudden my arms got really
tingly and heavy, and so I just continued
to move them and shake them, and then my
legs got that feeling too. It was like my
body was falling asleep before my mind
was. So after awhile of moving my arms and
legs around (luckily I didn't wake up my
husband!) eventually it passed. This has
been my one and only time experiencing
that. But this didn't even happen when I
had the bed shaking experience.
Is there any explanations for this...I'm
healthy, 5'6 125lb. I have no major health
concerns in my family history.

Bed Shaking at Night Posted: 04-09-08 21:36pm
Malibu Queen, I've had a similar
experience to your's described above most
recently.
In my case, I was fully asleep and woke up
to the bed shaking/rocking. I lifted my
upper body while still in a sleepy state
to see what the heck was going on, decided
it was significant earthquake tremors (I'm
in San Francisco), and quickly fell back
asleep while the tremors continued.
Well, I visited the USGS Earthquake
website to find no earthquake had occurred
that would cause what I felt. I am
stumped and am left to believe I caused
the bed to shake. There was no vivid
dream, no hallucination, no paranormal
activity; I was fully conscious of the
motions.
Unfortunately, my fiance was in Vancouver
at the time and could not confirm the bed
shaking. I'm just left to wonder . . . .
Do we have a serious medical condition? I
am in similar condition to you: 5'-8", 125
lbs, fairly healthy and no medical history
in the family that would relate to
anything like this. No drugs or alcohol
were taken or mixed prior to falling
asleep.
Post a reply if you've come across any
research related to the shaking, because I
think its more than a "bad aura" as Dude
Slayer has mentioned. Malibu Queen, you
should Wikipedia "aura" - its interesting
to look through the explanations and
links, but I still don't think it
coincides with the our symptoms.
Cheers.

I found this thread while googling for
reasons why my bed is shaking at night.
I am SO relieved that I'm not the only
one.
My bed shakes EVERY night, and it's been
doing that for about a year. The sensation
is like if someone is standing at the end
of the bed (it's mostly centered around my
feet and lower legs) pushing the mattress
up and down (or if you like, it feels like
someone is having sex or masturbating on
my bed). Once in a while it also feels
like someone SITS DOWN on my bed.
At first it was incredibly scary, and I
know this is going to sound strange but I
thought I had a ghost-problem. I got out
of bed in the middle of the night and did
a series of cleansings, but it didn't
stop.
I don't know if my bed is actually
shaking, or if I just THINK it's shaking.
I've tried to hold my legs still, I've
focused all my attention on my legs to see
if I'm having muscle spasms or anything
like that; but my legs remain perfectly
still, all while the bed keeps shaking.
The shaking is mostly in the lower region
of the bed, so my legs and sometimes my
pelvis-area is affected - but never my
chest, arms or head.
It's also really fast, too fast for it to
just be my heart or muscle spasms. It's
very gentle, it's not a violent shaking.
It's more of a wavy sensation than direct
shaking, and some times it is actually
really soothing - like being rocked back
and forth in a cradle.
It happens every night, and I'm 100% awake
during it. It starts shaking about 30
seconds after I've gotten into bed, when I
start relaxing, so I know that I'm not
dreaming.
It is really scary.

Bed Vibrates at Night Posted: 09-11-08 13:33pm
I've only been able to find this topic on
this health forum. About 50% of the time
my bed vibrate lightly - or shimmies - and
I know it's not me. Also, I don't drink,
I don't take any drugs and I live on the
coast of Virginia. If it were a rare
occurance I could possibly put it down to
the military doing something. But there
is absolutely nothing nearby, the house
doesn't vibrate, just my bed.
I've also heard whistling in my bedroom,
and other unexplainable sounds (like
dishes crashing) in my old house, but
don't know if there is any connection.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

This has happened to me as well. I think
that you are in some weird sleep state
when this happens and you think you are
totally awake but you are not.

I discovered something, if I bend my knees
to certain angles - my legs shake
furiously! I couldn't locate the exact
muscle, but I think it's the one that you
can see sticking out on your inner thigh.
So, lay down on the floor, bend your knees
and see what happens. If it starts
shaking, well.. there's your answer.
(yes you can imagine what I was doing when
I discovered this)

this has happened to me and my wife, alot.
the first time it happened I woke her up
to ask if she felt the shaking, she did. I
think it is the result of our body heat
heating the coils of the mattress and
creating some kind of radiating effect, I
know its not spirits because we don't feel
any sensation of presence or evil or
anything just a vibration in the mattress,
it all started when we got a new pillow
top mattress, my old mattress was old and
the springs were shot and this never
happened so I think it is the coils in the
mattress not a ghost...
