If Your Body Suddenly Jerks While You’re Falling Asleep

that occur when you’re falling asleep, often accompanied by

a sensation of falling. This happens to up to 70% of people

and can feel abrupt and unsettling. While the exact cause is unclear,

one theory suggests it may be linked to the nervous system’s natural downshifting as you fall asleep
