Not stroke: Such jerking is common as people fall asleep and body systems, including muscular switch to a different mode. Common causes for this include stress, alcohol, caffeine, certain movement disorders, severe preceding muscular exertion (including muscle spasm from any cause). Stroke is one thing this symptom is not.
