Nocturnal seizure or just a tremor?

Hi, I'm new here. I'm not new to epilepsy though. My 10 year old nephew has LGS. I am however learning that I experience something in my sleep. I'm 28. I've had problems sleeping my entire life. I've been previously told about 6 years back that I would shake really bad in my sleep. Like I was cold or scared. Yesterday it happened again while a friend was present. He said it looked like I was shivering, it was bad, but not noticeable if you weren't really looking. He said I made no noise. And he couldn't inturrupt me or snap me out of it. He said my eyes would open and close, that the shivering would start and stop for about 5 minutes. Has anyone else heard of this or experiences it. I don't even know where to start besides recording my sleep hoping to catch something on video.
