repercussion and Quitting smoking

**JayZen** · 10-23-2013 08:35 AM

Hi,

Because of my financial goals and books i have read about attaining goals, i have stopped smoking on my days off when i just sit at home. I noticed i can get through the 2 days without smoking because i can just lay down and eat everytime i feel like i need to smoke and get through the day to save money.
This is when i sleep in because it is the weekends.( sunday, monday for me) I noticed i get repercussions frequently now that ive stopped smoking on the weekends. The repercussions only happen on weekends. Maybe it is because i stopped smoking, and i have read that breaking habbits cause repercussions.

One morning i got up, switched sides of my bed, Putting my feet where my head was and my head where my feet was. closed my eyes for about 10 mins, and i woke up in a BIG jolt. Heavy one.

Repercussions is in fact from OBE or am i wrong? If so how come quitting smoking is the only thing that allows me to have repercussions? On weekends i break a routine because i go to bed about 5 hours later than usual, why doesnt that cause repercussions itself? i cant find anything else that causes it. I have had repercussions when young but not in my adult life unless i was quitting smoking. Actually my last time i came close to obe, i had quit smoking for about 5 days.

Thanks

Jay

when you say repercussions, do you mean some kind of vibration when you go to sleep?

Repercussion meaning when u wake up with a big jolt. like you body sort of flinches . u wake up and your body jerks. i actually had one last night laying on my back. didnt mean to fall asleep on my back but i woke up and i kicked my leg way up in the air. very wierd feeling. when i was dreaming right before i had the repercussion last night i drempt i tripped backwards over a chair and was falling back. you will know what i mean if u have had a repercussion before. this was the first one ive had not quitting smoking and i think it was because i fell asleep on my back.

yeah, i know what you mean. They are called hypnagogic jerks and can happen when you have had a lot of stress during the day causing your muscles to be overly tense. Then as you fall asleep, the muscles relax and that relaxation process can cause the jerks.
Its natural to have them as part of the falling asleep process, however if you have quit smoking, that could definitely make them worse.
