Sleep disturbances may be related to excessive stress, which can lead to spasmodic convulsions caused by overexcitation of the cerebral cortex. Myoclonus seizures may be associated with brain tumors, which can cause abnormal electrical discharges in the brain tissue and cause spasmodic convulsions.
