Jerks: Sleep or hypnic jerks are thought to be benign however it is important that they not be misdiagnosed as hypnic jerks when the diagnosis is a nocturnal type of seizure. When you say the EEG was abnormal, would be concerned about that possibility. However, the word "abnormal" is too broad to draw any conclusions. Highly recommend seeing a Neurologist. Also cut down on caffeine, alcohol and stress
