Hypnic Jerks and WILDs

So, I've been trying to WILD for about a week or so now, and I've noticed that when I do, sometimes (but not consistently) I will have what I'm pretty sure is a hypnic jerk. After I've been lying for a while, a couple of times my arm and another time my leg had a twitch. It's not accompanied by the falling sensation or anything like that, so I'm not completely sure that that really is a hypnic jerk. What do you all think?

The other thing is, I have a feeling that this is breaking my focus when I'm trying to fall asleep. Anyone else have this problem, and have you figured out a way to overcome it?

I've got the same thing mate. What I do, is I try this relaxation method, where I flex all different parts of my body for 5 seconds.
An example being:

I am laying in bed, and I tighten my left arm, for 5 seconds. Then I gently release the muscle. I would do the same to my other arm. I would do that for my hands, feet, face, and my entire body.
It works 80% of the time for me, but I still cannot achieve a WILD for some stupid reason. Hopefully this method works for you, and if you have everything else down for WILD's your on your way there. If you want to talk to an expert on WILD's talk to Mzzck. In my opinion he is a god of WILD.

Yep I get those too. I'm pretty sure their normal. They don't seem to bother me much so they haven't been a problem.
