What Causes Blinking Of Eyes, Scrunching His Face And Sticking Out Of Tongue?

It s my husband. For almost a year now he does something weird with his face. It starts with light blinking, then he moves his eyebrows up and down. Sometimes it looks like he s having a conversation with someone. Then he scrunched his face, sticks his tongue out,and bites down. This only goes on when he s quiet, watching tv, standing in lines, and especially when he goes to bed. He won t see a doctor.
