      Weird Jerking

      I was attempting to get into SP yesterday (straight off sleeping- not geting up at 4am etc) cause I'm never able too.. But yesterday I think I came close.. but suddenly, my entire body had a violent jerk, I was like.. woah wtf was that..
      is that normal?

      What you experienced is a probably a hypnic jerk.

      Yes this is quite normal, don't worry.
      They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?

      Does a hypnic jerk stop you getting SP?
      Is its something to fight against?
      I read that getting an urge to move is, like the itching, a way for your body to test if your mind is sleeping before SP.

      I think the hypnic jerk really depends on a lot of people. I think it's just natural. If you have the ability to control it, by all means try to resist. I however, have never had any control what so ever over the hypnic jerk.

      Yeah, it's normal. I do this too, sometimes. I know that you can't believe EVERYTHING you see on tv, so i dont know if this is true or not, but on House they said that that can often happen before the REM cycle, i'm not really sure. But yeah, I do this too...sometimes it stops me from going to sleep bc my bed will shake a little lol

      yeah i had this a few times. i dont know why but it can be like a really nervous/scared feeling for like no reason and occasionally the feeling that i somehow fell out of my body and slammed back into it. not saying i had an OBE but it just a weird feeling like that.
