You’re not alone if you’ve ever jerked awake while falling asleep—up to 70% of people experience these “odd feelings,” known as hypnic jerks or sleep beginnings. Though their cause is “not well understood,” one theory suggests the brain misinterprets relaxation as falling and triggers muscles to “jerk us awake” as a reflex. Another theory links them to “irregular sleep cycles, stress, anxiety, and coffee.” To reduce hypnic jerks, try relaxation techniques, maintain a regular sleep pattern, and create a peaceful environment. Remember, this “often occurring phenomenon” is normal and can be managed with better sleep habits.
