Do You Happened Unexpected Jerks of Your Body While Asleep? This Is What It Means

Before you going in deep dream suddenly you start to falling or feels sudden rush or maybe your body jerks? This happens to me many times, and I always wondered why this happens and after some time i found that this not only happens to me.

Some researches finally have found out what it means. Even they have given it an official name and it called the “hypnic jerk.” This condition was described in a different way by everyone.

But commonly shared experiences say that it feels like falling. Also it has been described as a demon choking you in your sleep.

Researchers think that a few external causes, like caffeine and tobacco, might increase how often the hypnic jerk happens to you. They recommend avoiding any caffeinated drinks if bedtime is only a few hours away.

Medications like Adderall and Ritalin can have similar effects, and sleep deprivation has been seen to trigger the phenomena as well.

The hypnic jerk is most often seen when a person falls asleep rapidly during or after they’ve been in an exhaustive state.

On rare occasions, when the body is really exhausted, the brain will process stages of sleep too quickly, confusing itself into thinking that the body and its major systems are failing.

It responds by jolting you awake with a burst of chemicals, one that the brain might interpret, and then build a dream designed to wake you up, which is the basic premise behind the theory of the ‘hypnic jerk.’
