What causes morning spasms?!

What causes morning spasms?

I usually go to bed quite early (10pm) and wake up around 5.00am after which i doze off lightly for a couple of hours. During that time I often experience neck or stomach spasms - some of which have made me almost sit bolt upright. I do have very vivid dreams during these last 2 hours and for some reason Im more tired than i was at 5.00am?

Any ideas?

Qualified answers only, please.

No kids.

Thanks.

Please avoid the answer "consult your doctor". This is not an answer to the question.

Actually, most are going to tell you this is lack of REM sleep, but, you are more than likely experiencing too much (average is around 20% during your total sleep time . You should cycle through about every 90-120 minutes. REM is often misinterpreted as the deepest stage. It is opposite. You can be aroused easily from this stage. REM will occur in most at 4-6 am. It is normal to wake from REM. When someone is very active in REM it causes them to feel over worked, despite the fact that they have slept for 8-10 hrs. The only way to find out for a fact, would be to have a Nocturnal Sleep Study. It is considered a form of REM behavior disorder. Overactive dreams are also in this category as long as you recall the dream. Google RBD to get more info.
