Struggling to fall off to sleep due to body jolts at the point from wake to sleep. Appears to be called Hypnic Jerks. Went through a stressful few months and this seems to be a trigger for this type of sleep start problem. I’m hoping that I can get some support and advice on here. All the best
I’ve experienced the same thing. Hypnic jerks are so annoying but totally harmless. Once I started sleeping better the jerks went away. For me, I noticed the stress and anxiety playing a huge role in that so I addressed it with medication (temporary, took gabapentin for anxiety and amitriptyline for sleep) to get into a rhythm with sleep. Once I got into a rhythm, I started the CBTI and have been in a better spot.
