Ahh Just getting to sleep.. then BAM!.. Body jolt.. do you have these?.. And

I think i know what your talking about... i don't have them often but i have had them a couple of times and i think i had one a couple months ago... it is kind of weird.

i also have there i dont know what they are but my partner gerts them really bad! its actually kinda funny to see him twich like that altho he once hit me in the head when he jolted!.. not as funny that time! lol

Yay, now I finally know what they are called... Thanks for sharing with us the term :) Anyway, I don't experience those body jolts that often that's why when it happens to me, I kind of enjoy the feeling...haha, I know, weird right? But yeah, I do enjoy it. I don't know why...and I laugh at myself because having a "jolt" or "jerking action" looks weird and funny.

i have had it but not often. the thing that worries me and i wonder about is sometimes im dosing and its like a "door slams" in my head. so, i wonder if im just nuts. ive never told anyone but since you all dont know me. maybe someone can give light on this. maybe i should do a discussion?

I get those quite often. It's like you are falling and then BAM you wake up just as you would have hit ground. Definitely a pain in the butt cuz afterwards, it's hard to go back to sleep. Kat

Finally a name to the beast that has plagued me since I was about six or seven or so. It seems to me that I get this sensation of falling almost and then I have a hypnic jerk and sometimes they actually scare me senseless... I find they happen when I am really really tired and my body is just exhausted but I often wonder why they happen?
