Just before I fall asleep I sometimes experience an itchy and stinging feeling in my body parts. It can be that the nose or neck suddenly start to itch or a tingling stinging feeling in the legs. Sometimes my fingers also start to do small uncontrolled movements.

What is this about?

@FloriOn Why is this marked as a duplicate? My question is not about PLMD nor apnoea. – Markus Apr 13 '15 at 00:33
Sorry everyone, removed. – FloriOn Apr 13 '15 at 05:08
Maybe you're being allergic at something from your bed (maybe dusts). Try sleeping with clean bed clothing and pillows (and yourself too) and see if the itching persists. – rhavendc Aug 11 '17 at 08:19
