everyone has little "tics".  Tics such as these usually provide some kind of comfort.  Now, I have to say, that is an interesting one, but everyone has them.  I put my arms behind my head, which for me is usually a sure sign that I am tired or stressed out.  Honestly, to try and break that habit, you would have to develop a behavior plan.  if you want to know more about how to do that, please email me at this name on yahoo.

definitely stress.  dont watch TV, read, be in settings with lots of lights and/or noise for a little while. \nalso try eating a banana, its got lots of potassium as this might be a muscle issue...and muscles tend to feel much better after you give them much needed potassium.

involuntary muscle movements are a sign of neuromuscular (nerves & muscles) problems. That is something that a Dr (and probably a specialist) needs to look into

all of the above are true..\ncould be triggered by neurologic conditions, muscle fatigue, stimulants, hypoglycemia and so on.  \nIf you experience it after using the involved muscle group, probably fatigue.  \n\nParkinson's causes what's called rest tremor.  It trembles while resting but trembling goes away when one starts moving around.  That's just one of the example.\n\nIf you experience it often, you should consult your family physician to rule out anything serious.

The precise cause of the twitching is unknown, and, in fact, it's not known if it's a disease of the motor nerves, the muscles, or the neuromuscular junction. However, anxiety is cleary a major contributing factor in many cases, and a high level of psychological stress appears to be a factor in others. Another factor that seems to be common in many cases is a history of regular strenuous exercise. Attention deficit disorder or a related disorder may be a contributing factor, and people with essential tremor appear to have a greater than normal likelihood of developing BFS. In addition, there are likely other genetic and environmental factors that make the patient more susceptible to Twitching.

An eyelid twitch can be caused by fatigue, stress, or even caffeine. They can continue on and off for days and will eventually stop. \n\nRelax, cut the caffeine intake and relax.

Eyelid twitches/spasms are generally caused by muscle fatigue.  It may be due to eye strain from such conditions as poor lighting, lack of sleep, undiagnosed vision problem or a need for a new lens prescription.  Potassium, as in bananas, is a better treatment for muscle spasms (and cramping) than calcium because while calcium helps regulate muscle contraction, potassium helps regulate both muscle contraction AND muscle excitability.

Twitching can happen because of stimulants (over stimulation of the nervous system).  If you drink a lot caffeinated beverages, you might want to try skipping them for a while and see if it goes away.\n\nAlso, as someone else suggested, also try taking vitamins to help aid your body's health and nervous system.

Check your eye doctor. If it's only stress in the eye, give it a rest and presume your work after a nice break. Graphic designers get a break too. ;O

Well, the question actually asked WHY his eyelids twitched.\n\nThe most common things that make the muscle in your eyelid twitch are fatigue, stress, and caffeine. Once spasms begin, they may continue off and on for a few days. Then, they disappear. Most people experience this type of eyelid twitch on occasion and find it very annoying. In most cases, you won't even notice when the twitch has stopped.\n\nMore severe contractions, where the eyelid completely closes, are possible. These can be caused by irritation of the surface of the eye (cornea) or the membranes lining the eyelids (conjunctiva).\n\nSometimes, the reason your eyelid is twitching cannot be identified. This form of eyelid twitching lasts much longer, is often very uncomfortable, and can also cause your eyelids to close completely.\n\nMore Here:\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000756.htm\n\nAs for the tingling... there are various reasons:\n\nCommon Causes: \nLocal injury to the nerves under the skin\nLack of blood supply to the area\nPressure on the nerves, caused by the following: \n  Herniated disk\n  Tumor\n  Abscesses\n  Arthritic bones\nToxic action on nerves (such as the effects of lead, alcohol, and tobacco)\nDiabetes and other metabolic abnormalities\nVitamin B12 deficiency\nHypothyroidism\nCarpal tunnel syndrome\nDrugs \n  Chemotherapeutic agents\n  Chloroquine\n  D-penicillamine\n  Isoniazid\n  Nitrofurantoin\n  Parenteral gold therapy\n  Phenytoin\nLong-term radiation\nTransient ischemic attack (TIA)\nStroke\nMultiple sclerosis (a less common cause of numbness)\nSeizures\nMigraine  \n\nhttp://www.shands.org/health/information/article/003206.htm

Most eye twiches are harmless, involuntary spasms of the tiny muscles surrounding the eye. Some causes are fatigue, squinting a lot, consuming too much caffeine, or working in a less than ideal visual environment, e.g., staring at a computer screens for long periods of time. Just like a muscle spasm at any other part of the body, an eye twitch can mean you've taxed your muscles and need to relax them. At home treatments that may help include hot baths, warm or cold compresses, rinsing your eyes out with warm water, or administrating eye drops. However persistent, more violent eye twitches could be a symptom of other physical or psychological ailments, such as undue stress or temper tantrums, neurological damage, or even epilepsy. If your eye twitching becomes more persistent, a trip to the eye doctor would be well advised.

If it doesn't go away, you should consider seeing your eye doctor.  Sometimes an eyelid twitch can be a sign of something a little more serious, like an internal eye infection.

Does your heart beat funny for a second or two?  If so, I get that.  It's related to anxiety and stress.  I also got it a lot when I smoked or drank caffeine.  Call your doc and make sure it's nothing serious though.
