[]Foot position while sleeping

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

The title of 's email reminded me of something I'd wanted to

ask you people for sometime.

My right foot's big toe keeps on moving on its own. Hehe...sounds

funny, no? Anyway, it was here in where I learned that such

involuntary movements are part of the CMT game and are called

something like 'muscle fasiculation' (am not sure about the spellings).

My 'naughty toe' was giving me too much of trouble at night because

there are no shoes at night to at least partially stop the involuntary

movement. On my doctor's advice I raised the level of my feet at night

i.e. I started sleeping with two pillows below my feet (I sleep with my

back on the bed)and amazingly, it helps a LOT! My question is, why does

it help? Why doesn't my toe move as much when my foot is kept at a

raised level????

Am really curious...any response is welcome.

Cheers......!
