Twitching in the legs is called RLS, or Restless Leg Syndrome.
Burning, crawling sensations start to occur in your legs and continue to be painful until you stand up and move around. No one is completely sure what causes RLS, but nearly half the time it is genetically acquired. There is no permanent cure for RLS, but some medications may give some relief. It's best to talk this over with a medical professional before taking any medications, either OTC or prescribed.

Why do you sometimes feel like you drop in your sleep?
When sleeping, the muscles in your arms and legs are actually paralyzed because if they weren't you would actually end up acting out all your dreams. You may feel like you're "dropping" because you have woken up before the paralysis in your muscle has disappeared. Basically, your muscles are coming back to life while you're aware of it which is why you feel a twitch. You tend to feel that the twitch woke you up, however, it is actually the other way round - you have woken up, and then moved.
