I often get that too, and they're usually accompanied by some sort of very very light and vague dream. The ones I'll get most often are where I'm running and then I accidentally trip on something and fall forward. It's the moment I'm supposed to hit the ground that I usually jerk awake, cus my body expects to feel the sensation of hitting the ground but it doesn't, so then I'm just like "wtf" and suddenly jolt awake. I remember the weirdest one I had though was like for a brief moment I saw this room that looked kinda like a hotel room. It just had fluorescent lights, a big window that looked out to the city, and two chairs sitting across from each other. Suddenly there was this bright flash of light and a ringing in my ears. I jolted awake so hard it actually kinda hurt. It was almost like I was about to have a dream and my brain just decided "nope" at the last second. Or either that, I was about to slip into the backrooms but I managed to wake up before I did 😳😳😳

I had it for a few days except the last two nights. Seems like it reduced. Step outside in daylight for 45 minutes or more. You can be under shade if its too sunny. The other thing is, avoid/ignore the thought of the anticipation of not getting sleep. It gives anxiety and makes things bad. Try and go to sleep like you did before the jerks started. And do it everyday. It will reduce or even go away. I've posted this comment on a few videos so more people can be at ease.

@@vagabondmasllani1982 Well, as far as I know it’s related to stress and anxiety so if you have one of theses, then you are most likely having Hypnic jerk. I consulted my doctor and he said that it might be related to physical and mental stress, It can also be related to magnesium deficiency, so make sure to get enough magnesium in your body and do some relaxation before bed time and clear your mind, also exhaustion can be a reason. The way it worked for me is reducing stress and caffeine because i felt like coffee was making my brain awake even if I’m exhausted and trying to sleep, and that’s it basically.

With me it is my whole body, but it happens less then it used to

This happened to me once or twice when I was riding on the bus towards school. I remember one moment where the bus was completely stopped and I was switching from being awake to going asleep. Since I was sitting while trying to sleep and I’m on a moving vehicle, my body was probably trying to warn that sleeping in such a position was kinda terrible. When I got the muscle twitch, my sister who was sitting next to me got scared by it too, she said it look like I was possessed.

Sometimes it happens to me when I just start dreaming and trying to react to certain things in my dream. I get this hypnic jerk as I’m reacting to something in my dream physically on the bed such as falling off a stairway and my leg jerk once or twice as if I’m trying to gain balance physically in my dream.

When that happens there's this feeling of falling right before it for me so that adds up. It happens when sleeping facing upward.

I have hypnic jerks every single time i "fall asleep" so i basically never sleep. i'm stressed about it, so i can't sleep because of the stress about being stressed because of it. so i take caffeine so i can even be awake ever, which causes it. i'm the perfect example of obsessive compulsive as far as thought patterns. i can't stop so i'm not able to stop. ty for the video. for years i just endured this ELECTROCUTION through my body. i had a hypnic jerk so powerful earlier that i went literally into an out-of-body experience and thought i had died for a split second. i'm scared that if i keep jolting so far out of myself that i'll wind up dead in my bed. i had a hypnic jerk the same night during a lucid dream and i woke up doing literal stretches! i thought i was dreaming, and i was, but i jerked myself awake doing a stretch that i was simultaneously doing in my dream. i almost think about ending it all because i'm scared. how fucked up is that. i just want to sleep :(

I always wondered why this happened. Havent had this happen in a long time though.

I like it lol. It feels fun yet frightening!

Thanks, this is insightful. I fell out of a bunk bed and broke both my wrists at 5. I wonder if that (+the tree thing) coupled with the extra stress has something to do with the increase of this happening.

Ive had this many times but i have never noticed any muscle twitching. I feel like im falling of my bed in slowmotion, and when my entire body hits the floor, i wake up. Im also paralysed when i wake up which i need to use force to get out of. And because of this, maybe i dont get these twitches At all

I had no clue what this was a couple minutes ago, it happened to me just now for the first time ever

Great to the point video.

This happens to me quite often. I always feel like i just tripped and stumbled which causes me to jolt.

The metaphor sleeping in a branch or a narrow surface is a good example and as an extinct to avoid falling the brain will signal your muscle to make a sudden move , thats what I have experienced and some just a sudden movement to my arm . I am sure stressed , I mean who doesnt and I drink mostly a 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning only and I sleep maybe in the midninght and sometimes at 2am, I over eat during nights , Im 34

Yes it is. Those are the brain’s way of checking if you’re alive. Sleeping is very similar to death, so the brain treats it as such. So before you go to sleep, it thinks you’re dying, and that’s not good! So it gets worried about you and sends a signal to jolt your body, trying to tell if you’re awake or not. Your body flinched, woohoo! Human isn’t dead, we shall write this into ourselves, and pass it to offspring through generations. Sorry for the long paragraph, weed makes me wordy.

I also added magnesium chloride and my sleeping quality increased gradually. I hope you feel much better soon.

i have some funny stories about this.. Sometimes when you think about certain things like fighting etc when you are trying to sleep sometimes you mimic what your thinking but in body language and sometimes I’ll full on swing my arm like it’s a punch or I’ll randomly kick my leg out. It’s the same feeling as going to catch something when it’s about to fall it catches you off guard. Especially when somebody is laying on you’re lap 😂

I have it like twice a week and it just feel like im getting shocked awake im sometimes scared

If you’re stressed or anxious it can happen as wel

It just happened to me everyday.. my vision turn into short dream and i was riding my motorcycle and when i slowly movement of getting accident and then boom..get shock feel and woke up

Bro I keep shacking when u sleep why is that ?

I had this many many time but one night it was terrible I had it constantly in a row like I could sleep because it would happen again and again and it was terrible but I eventually fell asleep. But I get scared every time!

Damn nice to know I run alot and normally before I fall asleep my body sometimes kick or fall and I have low iron

I get these alot - even during the day and I do worry about driving !! Kinda scares me

It happened just now to I was so scared when my body jerks lol 🤣 it happens all the time but I didn't know what it was.

i do those all fvckin 4 things to cause HIPNIC JERKS like I have coffee fefore evening workout iam stressed all the time also i do have lack of sleep.......... i get that thing every once in a week......

It happens mid dream sometimes for me like once at a sleepover with my Friends I did it and they thought I was tweakin also not only one muscle does it it’s my whole body

Last couple days this happens over and over and coupled with I need to breathe so I can’t get any sleep

Damn, can't believe they named an illness after me

I just had it and bro my whole body shook 😭 my heart nearly stopped 🫠

That is the worst feeling to feel is this. Like you start getting sleepy and then start dozing a little your head starts going off to the side and you catch yourself because if you don’t your gonna fall over omg I’ve felt like this plenty of times especially after a long day.

Litterally just happened to me so i started searching lol. Honestly idk why but i actually kind of like having a hypnic jerk bc it feels like im waking up to my alarm or something but then ik i can just go to sleep again

It only happens when I’m about to fall asleep at school with my head on the desk I don’t know why

I feel like I slipped, fell down the edge of a mountain, then I was awoken.

I broke my leg and I had to have morphine (morphine is a thing that causes it bc it’s a certain type of drug) and I didn’t know what these were and I started getting them so I asked the doctor they didn’t know so I searched it up and it stops me from falling asleep everytime

It feels like vertigo. Like that spinning feeling when you're trying to go to bed drunk. Then either I get a twitch, which I assume is a jerk, or I will just feel my body literally release adrenaline. That stomach drop feeling sort of.

I used to get the ones which feel like falling but were somewhat relaxing. Now I just get the ones which feel like I'm having a heart attack and being thrown upwards.

Nice animation

So in class I had to read a book for 30 minutes, and so did mostly everyone else as others might've used it to finish tests, but throughout the day I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open, so for me, that wasn't happening. I decided to just go to sleep because like what is this? A Martial Arts class? I can't look at a single word without passing out instantly, so I raised the desk height(which is normal fyi), and put the book down so it could look like I'm actually trying to read, and the teacher wouldn't notice that I'm gone because shes looking from the side instead of the front or back. Now here's the thing, I could sleep, but it felt like I had to go through 2 stages. One, the motor signal thing where it feels like a wave is going through my head drifting me to sleep, but thanks to the Hypnic Jerks that was going to be difficult to get through, which was stage 2, and then repeat because once I would finally sleep I would just be jolted back away like maybe 5-7 minutes later, and at some point I found myself dragging the book around the desk like a Air Hockey Puck. Just a nice and amazing experience over Hypnic Jerks, and of course it wasn't the first time. They feel like jolts to wake me up when something bad is about to happen which is halfley a good thing.

Worst part is when you have a spinal injury (the less morbid edition). Was staying over my girlfriends a few weeks ago and her bed is pretty small so the way I was laying was activating my pinched nerve injury I have and my leg kept twitching every 3 minutes as if I had a mf potassium train that kept dropping off chunks like clockwork

I actually like the jerks now it's like letting something loose that's really tense

bruh i do all those you told not to.. i drink coffee, exercise at evening and no sleeping regulation. that's when it all started..thnks now I'm gonna fix all this

every time I have this I always think that I fall off on a high building or stairs

When I’m falling to sleep, I almost have a fuse out of my brain. It’s like somebody is putting two wires together and it causes me to wake up so sudden. This is happening really regularly now. If anyone has any reasons to why this happened please let me know very healthy person and I only ever get this at night. When I go off to sleep the other night I woke up with a complete flash in front of me. It is starting to scare me now and I can’t really find anything on the Internet so please if anyone has any insight to this please don’t reply many thanks. Hope everyone stays well
