Futtocks Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It is a pretty regular thing for me, but as the article states, there are a fair number of different causes. Exercise? Nope. Trust me. Caffeine? I rarely have more than one small (but strong) cup per day, and that in the morning. Stress? God, yes. Or it could be a sleep apnoea kind of thing, which is different altogether. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark S Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I get them quite often, I always thought they happened when your blood pressure drops in order to give it a bit of a boost.

tim2 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I've never jerked before going to sleep. Honest. I used to have the thing where you wake up gasping for breath. It's frightening - it went away when I had a sinus op and lost 5 stones in weight. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim2 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Kinnell, how much stuff was bunged into your sinuses. Ha! Actually, a surprising amount. After the op they stuff wadding up your nose to stop the bleeding. When they take it out it seems like yards of it is up there. The weight loss was partly down to actually being able to breathe properly so i could exercise.

longboard Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Lots of interesting things happen in the hypnogogic and hypnopompic states. It's a subject well worth reading about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vambo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I remember many years ago reading in some psychic mag/book that claimed it was something to do with Astral Projection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
