What Could Be The Cause Of Twitching And Spasms In An Infant?

Hi, I noticerd the last two nights that my 28 month old son has been twitching and spasming while relaxing before bed. The twitching starts in his upper body (arms) and ends in his lower body. I have also notice him making a grimace. I have only noticed this occurring at night before bed. Is this something to worry about?
