I was wondering if anyone around here could give me some advice; I've recently been having incredibly severe hypnic/hypnagogic jerks just on the border of sleep. Often, it feels like it occurs just at the moment that a dream is starting, during that nebulous point where everything is just coming together, you're just beginning to hear the dream's audio, and then "SNAP!" I jerk awake and often sit bolt upright, usually with a stream of involuntary expletives, a pain in my chest, rapid heart beat, anxiety, slightly blurry vision and a massive adrenaline rush. I always think for a split second that I'm either having a heart attack, or going blind, or both. It's incredibly unpleasant. |

Well, last night I had had a very small amount of whiskey, but it often happens when I haven't had anything to drink. I don't have the world's best sleeping pattern, so I am sometimes pretty tired. To me it feels like a random occurrence, though. Last night it happened about three times in a row; eventually I got so tired that I just fell asleep for about six hours. I normally sleep for longer than that, though. |

Thank you! I'll book a doctor's appointment for later this week and see what my GP says about it. |

Could also be caused by your still conscious brain responding to all of your muscles suddenly fully relaxing, this makes your brain think you're falling through the air, causing a response in an attempt to wake up before impact. |

If you read this do a reality check, you will thank me later...
Any chance you're not getting adequate sleep or are under a lot of stress lately? Sometimes I seem to experience the jerks or other hynagogic effects a bit more often if I've gone an unusually long period without sleep or have some stress. |
