Body Vibrates When Sleeping Posted: 04-23-07 20:47pm


My partner tells me that my body vibrates sometimes when I sleep. It doesn't shake or twitch it vibrates. She woke me at 2:30 in the morning the other night because she was cuddling and it woke her up. She said the whole bed was litterally shaking. I have felt it on occassion when I've been woke up. It seems to center in my abdomen area. It's like my body is a vibrator on low speed. Is it anxiety or what, and why does it seem to center in my abdomen?

Hi there, Have you had your ANA checked? I am also vibrating at night--sometimes it wakes me up and sometimes it doesn't. I am about to be diagnosed with Lupus, which is an autoimmune disorder. I do not know if it is the cause, but I am going to be seeing my specialist tomorrow and will ask him about it.

I do that too - when I am awake, at least. I don't know about asleep. It does feel exactly like a mobile phone on Vibrate. It seems to be my arms and legs that are more affected. I thought it was some sort of problem with my nervous system. I am awaiting a nerve conduction test on my shoulder which has been very painful for months. If I find out anything I will certainly post it on here.

That's it exactly! I've replied to another post in this topic, so don't want to double-post but please everybody, tell me if you can find a solution...

body vibrating Posted: 03-07-08 07:37am


I have a friend that has experienced body vibrations when she was sleeping too. I am in the medical field and I know these vibrations are not cardiac related nor is it anxiety. It sounds like it may be caused from a condition called, "Morgellons". I guess People who have morgellons have nano technology in them. This technology vibrates to certain radio frequencies. Do research by looking up Morgellon and body vibrating. Hope this helps.

I get the same thing happening to me. It seems to have started in the last month . I only feel it when im in bed but its like my pulse is going throughout my body so fast that im vibrating. I have felt my pulse when this has happened and under the vibrating i can feel its normal. What is going on ? I am buying my first house at the moment and have been really stressed out. Maybe its something to do with stress?

body vibrates while sleeping Posted: 06-04-08 08:50am


I can't tell you how relieved I am to know that other people suffer from this and that I am not going crazy. It only happens during sleep, and I am not a deep sleeper so I notice it alot. I never knew how to describe what I am feeling because my heart rate remains normal while the rest of my body seems to be going a mile a minute. It is the weirdest feeling. A few other things I suffered from in the past are Lyme Disease 15 years ago, Bells Palsy 9 years ago, mitral valve prolapse syndrome, anxiety attacks. I had a feeling this had to do with my nervous system but not sure how. I looked up Mogellons as recommended, but I don't have any "skin" problems, just this one symptom. For other reasons, I was on an anti depressant for a short time and noticed it "went away" during that time, but as soon as I went off it, the symptoms returned. Does anyone have any more info out there? Natural remedies, maybe?

i vibrate too Posted: 06-18-08 20:42pm


It's pretty weird & I feel that it may be linked to some sort of 6th sense, 3rd eye stuff.l Really! I have had vibrations in the past just after waking up. It's an odd, very rapid vibration that seems to come from my core, my chest & it flows out into every limb. The first time this happened was in 89. I was having one of those very intense dreams that I could swear was reality. I was dreaming there was an earth quake going on & then woke up vibrating when my Mom said it was dinner time. I immediately looked up to see if the c-fan was moving & it was not. The vibrating stopped after about a min. or so, I sat down at the table, feeling quite light headed, I said to my family that there was going to be a big earth quake. The next day, SF, CA was nailed. After that, many random premonitions started to occur. This went on for many years but in the last 10 yrs., much less. The vibrations probably happen about 3-10 times per year. The last one was during the course of an extremely odd dream that I can remember like yesterday. I also have always had the ability to control certain dreams such as stop, rew, ffd, alter the path of, etc... Hope this doesn't just sound like a bunch of crap to everyone. I wouldn't make this stuff up. Anyone else have something similar going on?

Body Vibrations Vestibular in origin? Posted: 07-09-08 01:13am


I have experienced these vibrations as well and I don't think it is so abnormal and I doubt it is pathological. I just think that a lot of people don't experience it because they are sleeping through it. Our bodies go through four stages of non-rem sleep before we achieve REM sleep (rapid eye movement). If we happen to wake up during one of those stages or even during REM sleep, we are bound to discover things about ourselves that we weren't aware of. Has anyone ever remembered a dream? I suspect that this sensation of vibrating, at least while in deep meditative or REM sleep states may be a result of inaccurate information coming from our vestibular system in combination with this unconcious rapid eye movement. Our vestibular system is a portion of our balance system that sends our brains information on our head movements and our position in space. There are tiny structures in our ears that have our sensory neurons that respond when we move our heads. As a professional who has studied and observed vestibular pathologies, I have often wondered the role of the vestibular system in our sleep. There are few studies on the subject. Does anyone ever notice that this generally happens when sleeping on your side? I've had sleep paralysis while sleeping on my back but never on my side. I have had head and chest vibrations only while sleeping on my side. I think that sleeping in the side position has something to do with these strange sensations in our sleep due to the orientation of the vestibular canals in our ears. Perhaps our brains are receiving confusing signals from our vestibular system or vestibular neuron activity in the brainstem. If anyone has read any studies on this, please share them. I haven't found much basis for my shallow theory, but it just makes sense to me that our balance system is the culprit.
