What causes so-called sleep starts/hypnic jerks? can stress or extreme tiredness be a factor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle Jerks: Our muscles do not always relax smoothly; the can also relax in bursts or jerks. That may happen as we relax into sleep. Please see your doctor to make sure all is well. Consider stretching or cool downs after exercise. Peace and good health.
