It is a dysfunction of the system in your brain which paralyzes you for deep sleep. Is it important? Probably not... lots of people have a form of this some are as severe as sleep walkers. Yep.

When you switch from S-sleep to REM sleep, your muscle tone changes, and often this is associated with a feeling of "falling" or other conditions to which the body's normal response is to twitch. This is known as hypnogogia, and it is normal. Also, depending on what you are dreaming about, you may twitch during REM sleep at times. However, if it happening uncontrollably, it wakes you up, and you cannot connect it to anything that was "happening" while you were sleeping, there may be another cause. If you are concerned, you might want to talk to a sleep therapist to find out if there is any reason to be concerned. It is only a disorder if it happens when it is not supposed to.
