This is a common occurance that I have had since I was a kid. Here is an article explaining it. (ignore the part about epilepsy)

I have the drop feeling too and even sometimes my leg will swing around and inadvertently boot my wife. I have also been smacked a few times by my wife when she does it. Seems pretty common to my personal experience.
