Cheek Muscle Twitching

This has NEVER happened before, but today at work my left cheek muscle started twitching, quite violently, for almost an hour (on and off). It was really weird, and even now, several hours later, I still have a feeling its about to start twitching again. I havent changed my diet recently or havent drank lots of caffeine drinks or anything...so whats it all about?

Here's what google brings up. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003296.htm

Same here, if I get stressed or tired my face (eyes especially) doesn't stop. Rather annoying, especially when you're trying to concentrate on work. Best thing is an early night, and trying to lower the amount of work/stress you're taking on. Of course, if it's exams or whatever, you just have to put up with it, but make sure you're in bed asleep nice and early.
