Thread: Slipping or Tripping

This is called a hypnic jerk.

Thanks~! -looks them up-

haha, I've been getting these too and have been meaning to find out what it is..:3

This always happens to me. Usually when I move towards the edge of my bed during the night.

i hate those, i tend to fall asleep during class in high school and wake up with a huuuuge jerk. the thing is i was never dreaming of anything, my muscles just twitch on their own =(

I get that quite often. One time I was dreaming that I was walking in the middle of a desert, looking down at my feet, and I suddenly came to a train track. I slowly lifted my head and looked to the right and there was a train like 5 feet from me coming full speed. You can imagine that made me jump pretty hard lol. Other times it can be something simple like putting up decorations while standing on a chair and suddenly missing your step etc.

Mine are always the same. I'll see my self get out of bed, run down stairs, run toward the door, and jump out of it. The force of me hitting the ground knocks me out of sleep.

For me it is always one of my phobias. Like falling into boiling water, or being set on fire.
