a nervous twitch? Because I can't sit for more then about 2 minutes without bouncing my leg, 99% of the time I don't even know I'm doing it. Everyone thinks I'm nervous, when I'm doing it, but I'm not, I can't not do it, if I don't have at least one leg going then tension in the muscles will build in one of them till it starts to hurt, even causing it to cramp up on me.

Though for it to happen in bed is rare, it's like a once every 2-3 months thing where while I'm in bed that for no reason at all and no real warning my leg will just randomly kick.

Side notes: a girlfriend of mine used to hate it, till she realized what it could do for her since I can easily bounce over 300Lbs on my leg, as I and a friend tried to figure out what could physically stop it if I couldn't, we ran out of weights... And my leg didn't stop.
