Sleep myoclonus: What you are experiencing is sleep myoclonus, a common occurrence when falling asleep. It tends to subside when you have actually fallen asleep. It is not an indication of pathology.

Jump/jerk in sleep: If it is only in sleep onset it is normal but more than that needs evaluation .... See a sleep doc. Multiple conditions can do this some of them need treatment.
