Answers:
If you are otherwise healthy and have no weakness then this is very likely to be "benign fasciculations". It often comes with stress, over-exercise, poor sleep, or caffeine.

Get some rest, chill, and see a neurologist if it doesn't go away...it almost always will and almost everyone gets this at some time in their life.Health Question & Answer

I've had that exact same thing and it is SO annoying, I have carpal tunnel though so I usually get it from typing too much. Just rest it (no typing!) and it should go away, stuff your hand under your pillow when you're trying to get to sleep :)

Obviously go see your doctor if it doesn't go away in a day or two since it could be a neurological thing. I very much doubt it is though.Health Question & Answer

Try massaging your thumb. You have a nerve which is twitching. It will go away after a rubHealth Question & Answer

Probably is just a nerve thing.Keep an eye on it just in case.Health Question & Answer
