      Sometimes right before falling asleep, I'll jump up, which causes me to wake up. I know there's a name for it... does anyone else ever get this?

      This is called "total muscle relaxation." And obviously... its the complete relaxation of your muscles. The common feeling for it is falling (which'll cause you to jump). Personally, when I've gotten it, I've felt like I was walking and I miss a step and I head straight for the ground but wake up before hitting the ground.

      I think you are referring to a hypnic jerk.

      No, YOU'RE a hypnic jerk!

      (Sorry, I just had to say that, I have a caffeine high)

      But yeah. Dogsmeow, what you are referring to is most definitely a hypnic jerk. You describe it exactly. I get them all the time, at least twice or three times a week. Usually when I take a long time to fall asleep.
