Sleep time jerks
My son is 7 yrs old. When he is asleep, he jerks and twitches a lot, whole night. Day time he is fine. He very very active and doesn't rest at all. He was on nebulisers and huff puffs sometime back and switched to homeopathy and found relief. I am very worried about his sleep time jerks. Please tell me wheat could it be.
