Hypnagogic Event: You may've had a hypnagogic jerk(s). These NORMALLY occur going from an awake to twilight state of sleep then, into deeper stages where almost no body motions occur until we start cycling through the different stages of sleep.

Question 7

hello! my partner and i recently starting sharing a bed at night and she told me that my whole body starts to shake every night? like a jolt goes through my body. i had absolutely no idea i was doing this and i have no memory of it at all. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

: If possible you can ask you partner to observe you or you can video yourself during sleep to confirm that you only jerk one of your extremities not the whole body or if you have any apneic episode. Jerking of the extremity during sleep (nocturnal myoclonus) is usually benign but it may need to be diagnosed and treated if it disrupts your sleep pattern which can cause symptoms during the daytime.
