Feet movement during sleep
Hello sir / ma'am
I want to ask for my wife 29/F. From a long time (2-3 yrs) she has a habbit of moving and flexing her one ankle / feet in periodic motion during her deep sleep. This habbit is sometimes very annoying. Specially during the night.
Is this a sign of any serious mental prob. Need your advice on the same.
