Hello,

What I understand is you are facing flicker contraction of the muscles when you lye down in the evening time. The flicker contraction or twitching in other way is happening only during the night time. Is that so?

Maybe due to excessive exercise, there is some sodium imbalance between the tissues. Why don't you try having lemon juice with added little sugar and a pinch of salt?

Let us observe for a week or so and then let's take the call about how and what is the situation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
