Random Parts Of My Body Keep Twitching; What Does This Mean?
I had similar problems before. I read somewhere, I can't find it now, that nyquil or similar cough medicines can cause twitching. The ingridients in those medicines is what causes it, so check on those. I'd been taking nyquil everynight for quite awhile because I kept having problems, but after I read that that was what was causing the facial twitches, I stopped. After a week of no nyquil (or similar products) my eyes stopped twitching.

Why does my left butt cheek keep twitching?
I get random spasms and twitches in random spots on my body. The spots will twitch on and off for about a week, then it's on to a new place. It's worse when I'm stressed out or when I haven't been getting enough sleep... I don't have any nervous disorders or anything, either... I would say you should just make sure you're getting enough sleep. If you're stressed out about something, try to relax. Maybe meditate or something? Take some "chill out" time. If the twitching is seriously impairing your life, then see a doctor. Also if the twitching continues after you change positions, that may be a sign of a problem. Chances are it's nothing serious. Muscles like to move -- sometimes without your consent.

Muscle twitching is also called muscle fasciculation. Twitching involves small muscle contractions in the body. Your muscles are made up of fibers that your nerves control.

What does it mean if your butt is twitching?
Haha, people have muscle spasms all over their bodies, including the butt. I usually have spasms in my eyes, legs, or neck. It doesn't really mean a whole lot...If it is painful, stretching or gentle flexing of the muscle may help to relieve it. Spasms may be caused because a muscle is overused and tired, or if it has been held in the same position for an extended amount of time. The muscle may then force itself to contract.It is also thought that dehydration and depletion of electrolytes may lead to muscle cramps and spasms, so maybe take a drink of water every once in a while.
Why do I twitch in my sleep?
When people start to fall asleep and they do not do so right away, your body reacts to it. Your mind thinks because your breathing is slowing and your heart beats are slowing that you are dying so your brain sends a jolt through your body (electricity) to make your heart start. Your heart doesn't actually stop but your brain thinks it is. I do this often, if you are twitching in your sleep ( not when falling to sleep ) most likely you muscles are in a relaxed state so it randomly twitches, this is also normal. I on the other hand, shake in my sleep. I do not know what it is but if you also shake in your sleep, I've been doing so for years. Nothing bad has happened yet xD
