What causes involuntary movement of arm and leg nerves or muscles to hit yourself or kick walls in your sleep and awake?

Involuntary movements of the arms and legs, such as hitting oneself or kicking walls, can be caused by a range of factors including sleep disorders like REM sleep behavior disorder, neurological conditions, or even stress and anxiety. These movements may result from the brain's inability to properly regulate muscle activity during sleep or wakefulness. Additionally, certain medications or substance use can exacerbate these involuntary actions. If these movements are persistent or disruptive, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and management.
