I started getting hypnic jerks , right after I quit caffine. I went through hell during caffine withdrawal. Insomina, heart palpitations, anxiety and sleep issues. It’s almost 18 months since I quit caffine, but only symptom left is hypnic jerks. As soon as I drift to sleep, I get this hot rush through my body and it wakes me up several times through out the night. I have tried everything but nothing seems to work at moment. Please if any one reading this give me some kind of advice or cure for this thanks.
Hello Fuzz!
Caffeine addiction is very complicated. It works like a drug. But 18 months is enough time for cleaning.
Night awakenings with hot flashes can be adrenaline + cortizole. Stress hormones may be waking you up and giving you these symptoms. But that doesn’t really matter. What matters is your reaction to it. The more stressed and panicked you become when this happens, the more stress hormones your body will produce. And it is very difficult to break this cycle. Read more about ACT and also read Dr Claire Weekes who treats the symptoms produced by Fear and teaches you to get out of this cycle. Good luck! (FORGIVENESS FOR ENGLISH)
