Is it true that experiencing minor muscle twitches is a normal physiological occurrence?

Yes. A Cleveland Clinic reference page states that some muscle twitches happen for normal reasons and are called physiological myoclonus, giving sleep myoclonus and hiccups as examples. This directly supports that experiencing minor muscle twitches is a normal physiological occurrence.
