If this happens a lot, get checked out for sleep apnea, trust me
Can be a symptom but not always. For example my fiance has this all the time but not sleep apnea
Hypnic jerk is the name of the phenomenon.
I used to get this all the time when I was really young, like less than 8, but I’m an adult now and haven’t had it happen since then at all. I wonder why?
Perhaps less or different activity in the day? My husband gets this a lot as he does downhill biking and his brain is replaying the day, while I only get it occasionally and it’s usually something lame, like stepping off a curb.
Such a great point!
I used to get struck with sleep paralysis all the time and similarly it just stopped one day. Stupid body
It feels like it happens more often the more active I was during the day, and as a kid hooo man very physically active.
Inception kicks
Yet another sign of that InTELLIGeNt DeSiGN at work LMAO
