Mybe he has undiagnosed Parkinson's disease! Make him go to a doctor cause the longer he waits the worse damage he'll do to himself! It could be some nervous system problem too - either way, that's not normal - have him see a doctor or a neurologist.Health Question & Answer

There is a twitch that is common and normal for most people as they begin to drift off to sleep. It's called, "nocturnal myoclonus". It usually happens at the moment when you are just starting to fall asleep and it can be a twitch that causes your entire body to suddenly jerk. It's normal and there's nothing wrong with you if you do this.

If he does this when he's awake and conversing with someone, then it may be a nervous "tic", which could have a number of different causes. Only a neurologist would be able to tell what the cause of the daytime twitch is.Health Question & Answer
