my body stiffens
08/17/08
On some occasions when i go to bed, i can just about feel myself dropping off to sleep then my arms and top of my back stiffen/freezes up and wake me up im not aching anywhere, this can go on for at least an hour before i finally get to sleep.
Why is this?

It's a common complaint that doctors do hear about and it has to do with shifting from one sleep phase to another. It usually happens when you are awakended suddenly out of a particular phase of sleep rather than moving gradually thru the several cyclical phases of sleep.
You can read more about the different phases of sleep and the "cycles of sleep" if you go to:
