What Causes Tremors In The Legs While Sleeping?
In her sleep, my wife shakes about every 30 to 60 seconds, noticeably her legs. The shake is preceded by a heavy snore. After the shakes, her breathing will get quieter with each breath, then completely quiet until the next period of a heavy snore and another shake. She is wide awake during the day.

Hello
Your wife is possible obese a and is having obstructive sleep apnea, which is causing low oxygen saturation in her blood and leading to shakes, I would suggest a pulmonologist consult to clear rest of things for you and further treatment.
