I've been feeling some weird things lately, and I'm a bit worried. Last night, my sister said I was experiencing jerks in my sleep. Today, I'm noticing that parts of my body seem to move involuntarily when I'm trying to fall asleep. Plus, I've barely slept more than 5 hours a night this past week. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be serious?

My wife's been experiencing this weird thing where her eyes feel like they're rotating. We went to a general physician who said it's due to low blood pressure and suggested some Ceylon, but she's still occasionally feeling the rotation once a day. I'm really worried, and I'm not sure what steps we should take next. Any advice on what could be causing this or what we should do?
