The transition from wakefulness to the initial stages of sleep in a person may be accompanied by twitching or twitching, especially in children under the age of two. Somnologist Mihran Buniatyan from the Central Clinical Hospital RZD-Tip said this. In adults, these reactions may be related to changes in muscle tone, nervous system, and brain activity during sleep. If the person can fall asleep after these reactions, there is nothing to worry about.
But if the twitching disrupts the transition to sleep and interferes with falling asleep, it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. The somnologist emphasized that there are many sleep disorders, including syndromes such as parasomnias, epileptic activities, obstructive sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome. Special studies, including polysomnography, are needed to determine whether such behavior is the norm or pathology.
According to Mihran Buniatyan, polysomnography is now accepted as the standard for diagnosis. The results of this test will help doctors make an accurate diagnosis and decide whether further treatment is needed.
