Have you ever woken up in a deep sleep with a sudden jerk? Do you feel like jumping in your sleep? Fear not… this is nothing but a hypnotic jerk. Hypnic jerk is not a disease, nor is it a neurological disorder.

It is only felt in the first few hours after falling asleep. It is also called sleep twitch or myoclonic jerk. There are many common misconceptions about this jerk. Generally, 70% of the people in the world experience hypnosis jerk.

So, what exactly are the causes of hypnotic jerks in sleep? Even though many researches have been done in this regard, the exact cause is still not known. However, there are various reasons that increase the risk of hypnotic jerk.

It happened to me sometimes but the first day i experience it I was just so afraid and I started wondering what could be the reason ,but I search on the internet and I was able to find a reasonable answer to convince me that is just a natural process so ever since then I don't just consider it is a big deal again.
