Dystonia will release when you sleep, for me it would often wake me up. So I suspect during REM I would relase but as I cam out of REM it would return (to me I was asleep, but woken by my twisted foot).
Thanks for the reply

I don't know if we have movement specialists here in the UK, I have been seen by both rheumatology and neurology, but this was before the dystonia really started to become a problem so they mainly focused on the CRPS. I will definitely ask about it though because if there are some medications which I can try that might help that will be a lot better than having the splint done under general anaesthetic!
