Answer:
What you're describing may be a common problem experienced by almost everyone at some time in their lives- hypnic jerks AKA sleep starts. Most often these events are not very bothersome or excessive. The patient usually describes a sensation of sudden brief jerks at sleep onset, mainly affecting the legs or arms associated with a subjective feeling of falling, a sensory flash, or dream. Alternatively, these may be related to restless leg syndrome or much lees likely a sort-of seizure, called myoclonus. Go over the symptoms in detail with your doctor to ensure that this is not anything too serious.
